San Nicola di Baraggiola

San Nicola di Baraggiola is a Roman Catholic church located in the neighborhood of Baraggiola (o Barazzola), in the town limits of Borgomanero, province of Novara, Piedmont, Italy.

History

A structure at the site is documented by the 10th century. In the 12th century, the church was linked to Augustinian eremitic monks, with an adjacent monastery. The spare-appearing church has a single nave and ends in a semicircular apse.[1] The tall 10th-century bell-tower, which doubled as watch-tower, is a Romanesque structure with mullioned windows.[2]

gollark: How is it a shady git website? It's a dedicated gitea instance I run for PotatOS and other stuff.
gollark: Why wouldn't you be able to?
gollark: Why not use AsmBB for the CC forum? It's great* forum software.
gollark: This is immensely troubling. However, PotatOS Hypercycle has problems compared to old. versions still.
