The building has a simple but harmonious layout, characterised by a single large nave leading to the apse and a sloping fa\u00e7ade surmounted by a bell gable.<\/p>\n<p>During restoration work carried out in 1977, traces of the foundations of a previous single-nave hall were discovered, on which the Romanesque church was later built. The current building has retained its original orientation, with the longitudinal axis and apse facing north-east.<\/p>\n<p>From a construction point of view, the two main fa\u00e7ades are made of sandstone and trachyte blocks, while the sides feature a mixed stone facing. The facade is embellished by a recessed false loggia, bordered by double-ring arches and a scarp that is interrupted at the two half-columns, giving the whole an elegant architectural balance typical of the local Romanesque style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Church of San Leonardo in Masullas, a 12th-century Romanesque building in sandstone with a blind loggia fa\u00e7ade, a single nave and an apse facing north-east.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":235751,"template":"","village-conntection":[50809],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76193,76190],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-308708","what-to-see","type-what-to-see","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-masullas-it","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-oristano-en","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-sardinia","what-to-see-category-place-of-cult"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/308708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/what-to-see"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/308708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=308708"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-region-and-provinces","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-region-and-provinces?post=308708"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=308708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
