Cattedrale di Trani

 

Cripta di San Nicola pellegrino

 

Attraverso due scalette si scende nella cripta di San Nicola La cripta trasversale, intitolata a San Nicola Pellegrino, è stata progettata nel XII e ultimata nel 1142. E’ costituita da 42 crociere sostenute da 28 colonne in marmo greco, sormontate da capitelli realizzati con la stessa pietra. Un tempo l’accesso alla cripta era indipendente, testimoniato da due porte presenti ai lati delle absidi minori. L’estensione della cripta ricalca con molta precisione l’intera area del transetto della chiesa superiore, riproducendone anche l’architettura perimetrale. from wikipedia
