Siponto, chiesa di San Leonardo. Solstizio d'estate (HQ) Video

21 giugno 2008 il fenomeno astronomico nella chiesa di San Leonardo a Siponto (FG) Along the state road 89, that linked Foggia to Manfredonia, a few kms far from Siponto, the The St Leonardo's Abbey (XI-XII sec.) is to visit. The St Leonardo's Abbey of Siponto dates from the 1000s and was at one stage home for knights of the Teutonic Order. The church, with the same name, is well-known because of its decorated portal in Romanesque style and the summer solstice: through a gnomonic hole a rosette in the ceiling of the main nave, the sunlight falls on a particular point of the floor of the nave. It takes place once a year.
