Света Софија у Беневенту. Узор и остварење
Sainte-Sophie de Benevent. Model and Realization

Summary/Abstract: Santa Sofia in Benevento is one of those ancient architectural monuments that have been the subject of extensive writing. Dedicated in imitation of the great Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, the Beneventan church served as the national church of the Lombards. Building upon previous research, the author engages in the scholarly debate by presenting observations and conclusions that differ in certain respects from those previously proposed. The analysis reveals that the design was conceived with a sophisticated understanding of geometry, making this monument—with its complex architectural structure—an exceptional work of art.
