medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Porto Torres has a couple of ancillary sites connected with Gavinus'
cult. As in the better known case of Agatha's churches in Catania,
these give physical expression to significant moments in the saint's
Passion: his execution and his burial (along with Protus and Januarius)
by the Christian community of Torres. A webpage from the archdiocese of
Sassari showing these
http://www.diocesi.sassari.it/sgavino.html
also has photographs of:
remains of the fifth century chapel underlying S. Gavino:

a reused capital from the same chapel:

a marble lunette, showing a hunting scene, from a "romanesque" portal on
the church's north side (replaced by that side's fifteenth-century portal?):

and the early seventeenth-century martyrium in front of the cript (from
the _corpi santi_ episode, when Sassari was battling Cagliari for the
primacy of Sardinia):
