The layout is rectangular with a deep apse located to the northeast.<\/p>\n<p>The gabled facade has a simple architraved portal surmounted by a large circular window. Along the sides, tall semicircular windows open between slender pilasters. At the back, the deep apse narrows significantly from the hall.<\/p>\n<p>Before the present church, there was a small medieval church, traces of which are still visible in front of the new structure. This old church was demolished in 1909 after the consecration of the new church.<\/p>\n<p>The surrounding area is thickly wooded. The muristenes, arranged in a horseshoe shape around the church, border a large dirt clearing. The church can be reached by paved roads, with signaling present along Provincial Road 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Church of Our Lady of Itria, in the countryside of Gavoi on the Lidana plateau, is a granite building dating back to 1903, inspired by Sardinian Romanesque cathedrals and surrounded by traditional muristenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":304990,"template":"","village-conntection":[101800],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76192,76190],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-311726","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\/311726","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\/311726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=311726"},{"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=311726"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=311726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
