Tucked away in the rolling countryside of northern Sardinia, the Church of the Holy Trinity (Basilica della Santissima Trinità di Saccargia) is a prime example of Pisane Romanesque architecture. Though the black-and-white basilica dates back to the early 12th century, the site upon which it was built was home to religious institutions for far longer, and the ruins of an ancient monastery can still be found on the grounds. The facade is made entirely of local stone, with alternating layers of black basalt and white limestone lending the structure its black-and-white stripes. Inside the church, elaborate frescoes cover the walls, among the few remaining examples of Romanesque frescoes on the island. (Codrongianos, Italy)
