A proper church

Ravenna or whereabouts?

[stuny]

France?

[sls]

Ravenna is a well educated guess as this church is in the same time-frame and country as Sant Apollinare in Classe and San Vitale in Ravenna. San Vitale was the daddy of this style, copied widely, but San Vitale is a completely different 'Hagia' Byzantine design. So at least it's Italy.

 

France - The Franks only adopted Christianity a few years before this was built and so were probably sitting in mud huts.

No. Is it time for a clue? Here goes ...

 

Z 3 2 8

 

Yes, that's the clue, and I'm giving it away

In Bavaria?

[sls]

Not sure Bavaria is in Italy.

 

I did have a tricky one lined up, so I'll simplify the clue ... z 328

[otto.f]

Bavaria is Germany

[stuny]

Sorry - I missed the "Italy" part of #15408

[sls]

Someone please take me out of my misery - Z328 - it's a musical clue, I would recommend google

[otto.f]

Following your hint - I'm not very familiar with the catholic parts of Rome - I would guess Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Roma

Hello Otto,

 

Could we be East of Venice & South of Vienna?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

More like Valle D'Aosta. Fenis. It is typical Lombardy style, 14th C. It was a very strategic area at the time, indeed for centuries, into the Napoleonic period. Happy memories of the vineyards of Piedmonte and the Gianduja factory. A magical part of the world.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[otto.f]

You're right sls. Very nice fresco's too, which are miraculously well kept (12th or 13th century) without any restaurations thus far.

 

Your turn!
