Nostra Segnora De Mesumundu
Nostra Segnora de Mesumundu ("Our Lady of Mesumundu") is a religious building in the territory of Siligo, Sardinia, Italy. History Located in the archaeological complex with the same name, it was built in the 6th century, during the Byzantine domination of the island, over a pre-existing Roman structure (2nd century AD), which included a thermal plant. The Byzantines re-used part of the walls of the Roman building, as well as the aqueduct. The edifice could have been used as a baptistery. However, it is also possible that it was used for the purification of ill people through an immersion rite ( agiasma). In 1063, the structure was donated by the ''Giudice'' (duke) Barisone I of Torres to the Abbey of Montecassino.
