The site has great historical and symbolic significance, as it is believed to have been the location of the village\u2019s first cemetery, as evidenced by the human remains found here and now preserved on either side of the high altar.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the church, on the right-hand side, stands the altar dedicated to the Crucifix, which comes from the now-demolished Church of Santa Croce, once situated on the site where the Town Hall now stands. The memory of that ancient building lives on in the name of the small square in front of it.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular interest is also the presence, in a display case at the foot of the altar, of a relic of Saint Antioco, recently placed there and originating from the island of the same name. This element strengthens the community\u2019s devotional bond with the saint, making the church a place that remains significant to this day for local faith and memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Church of Sant\u2019Antioco in Gavoi, a 15th-century building overlooking the valley, housing a relic of the saint and historical evidence of the village\u2019s first cemetery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":304987,"template":"","village-conntection":[101800],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76192,76190],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-311724","what-to-see","type-what-to-see","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-gavoi-en","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-nuoro-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\/311724","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\/311724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=311724"},{"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=311724"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=311724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
