Why go
Theophanu's connection gives this church a more personal historical focus than a simple tour of Romanesque forms. Her marble sarcophagus sits inside, while the westwork reflects the church's tenth-century expansion. Roman villa remains in the crypt add a still earlier layer, if that part of the building is accessible.
What to look for
- The Ottonian westwork makes the church's early medieval form clear.
- Theophanu's marble sarcophagus lies inside the church.
- Roman villa remains survive in the crypt when accessible.
Useful to know
- Contact the parish about church access before making the interior your main reason to travel south.
- Leave time to look at the westwork from outside even if the crypt is inaccessible.
