Campanario de la Iglesia de Santa Margarita - Vernazza, Italia - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

"El campanario de planta octogonal y de 40 metros de altura, se apoya directamente sobre los cuatro pilares del presbiterio.

La iglesia de Santa Margherita es un lugar de culto católico ubicado en el municipio de Vernazza , en via Ettore Vernazza, en la provincia de La Spezia . La iglesia es la sede de la parroquia del mismo nombre del vicariato de la Riviera de la diócesis de La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato .

Según algunas fuentes, un primer edificio religioso surgió, de estilo románico , ya en el siglo XI o en el XII. La nueva iglesia fue reconstruida, sobre los cimientos de la anterior, por los Magistri Antelami , probablemente ya en el siglo XIII como se menciona el edificio, por primera vez, en un documento fechado en el año 1318.

Los estudios y prospecciones realizados plantean la hipótesis de que la iglesia original debió tener planta de estilo basilical con tres naves y otros tantos ábsides."

"The octagonal bell tower, 40 meters high, rests directly on the four pillars of the presbytery.

The church of Santa Margherita is a place of Catholic worship located in the municipality of Vernazza, in via Ettore Vernazza, in the province of La Spezia. The church is the seat of the parish of the same name of the vicariate of the Riviera of the diocese from La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato.

According to some sources, a first religious building emerged, in Romanesque style, already in the 11th or 12th century. The new church was rebuilt, on the foundations of the previous one, by the Magistri Antelami, probably already in the 13th century as the building is mentioned, for the first time, in a document dated 1318.

The studies and surveys carried out raise the hypothesis that the original church must have had a basilica-style plan with three naves and as many apses."
