The church of San Lussorio lies in fields on the outskirts of Fordongianus (Or). The city was founded in late republican times close by the Aquae Ypsitanae thermal springs.

Today’s church has a single nave, a wooden truss–frame roof and vaulted semi–circular apse. Analysis of the wall stratigraphy has been associated with research into the church’s history.

La chiesa di San Lussorio è situata su un colle alla periferia campestre di Fordongianus (Or), città fondata in età tardorepubblicana presso le sorgenti termali di Aquae Ypsitanae e sotto Traiano prese il nome di Forum Traiani. La chiesa fin dal V secolo fu sede diocesana e nel periodo medievale fu compresa nel “giudicato” di Arborea. Una primitiva memoria in ricordo di Lussorio (cripta martiriale) fu probabilmente eretta già nel IV secolo, riutilizzando una struttura semi–ipogea preesistente. Sulle strutture tardo–antiche e bizantine, ancora in parte interrate, sorge la chiesa medievale che, dopo numerosi crolli, ricostruzioni e rimaneggiamenti, si presenta a navata unica, con copertura a capriate lignee e abside semicircolare, voltata a semicatino, orientata ad est. Grazie allo studio delle stratigrafie murarie, unitamente alle altre analisi storiche tematiche, è stato possibile pervenire ad una nuova ipotesi sulla tipologia dell’impianto planimetrico della chiesa preesiste all’attuale e sulla cronologia delle numerose fasi costruttive che si susseguono dall’epoca della fondazione fino al XV secolo.

Abstract
The church of San Lussorio lies in fields on the outskirts of Fordongianus (Or). The city was founded in late republican times close by the Aquae Ypsitanae thermal springs. The Emperor Trajan gave it the name Forum Traiani. From the fifth century the church became a diocese; in Mediaeval times it fell within the jurisdiction of Arborea. A rudimentary memorial to Saint Luxorius had probably already been erected in the fourth century. A preexistent basement structure was converted to create a martyrial crypt. The mediaeval church lies West–East on Late Antiquity and Byzantine structures buried beneath. Many of its walls have collapsed over time, prior to rebuilding and renovation. Today’s church has a single nave, a wooden truss–frame roof and vaulted semi–circular apse. Analysis of the wall stratigraphy has been associated with research into the church’s history. This has permitted new hypotheses as to the changing ground plan of the church from its foundation through to the fifteenth century.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
