Smaller version of the Cathedral of Joly Sepulcher in Jerusalem
Tempio di San Giovanni al Sepolcro的点评
点评:This church was built at the end of the 11th Century AC by some Norman King who was returning from a Crusade, as Brindisi's harbor was the main departure point to Middle East during the age of the Crusaders (1096-1291). The interior is designed in the shape of a "horse shoe" with eight columns in concentric circle, just like the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.
According to nowadays standards the temple is not a tall building, so it's not visible from distance. Actually, all the buildings around are taller. Anyway it well worth visiting, especially for the marble lions supporting the entrance pillars, for the indoor wall paint, partially visible and for the green patio, where the visitors could admire some beautiful orange and lemon trees, as well as ancient tombstones, some of them dating back from Roman era.
Visited the place in January and the citrus trees in the patio were full of ripe fruits.
翻译:这座教堂建于公元 11 世纪末,由一位从十字军东征归来的诺曼国王修建,因为在十字军东征时期(1096-1291),布林迪西的港口是前往中东的主要出发点。教堂内部设计成“马蹄”形状,有八根同心圆的柱子,就像耶路撒冷的圣墓大教堂一样。
按照现在的标准,这座寺庙并不是一座高大的建筑,所以从远处看不到它。实际上,周围的所有建筑都比它高。无论如何,它非常值得一游,尤其是支撑入口柱子的大理石狮子、部分可见的室内墙面画和绿色庭院,游客可以在那里欣赏一些美丽的橘子树和柠檬树,以及古老的墓碑,其中一些可以追溯到罗马时代。
一月份参观了这个地方,庭院里的柑橘树上结满了成熟的果实。
