Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project description
Project Id 3352
Project Name San Sebastiano Monte dei Morti Living Lab, Italy
Description The church of San Sebastiano del Monte dei Morti, is located in Salerno, in Largo Plebiscito, in the historic center, within the ancient walls that opened there in the Porta Rotese. This church was originally dedicated to the Saints Martyrs Sebastiano, Cosma and Damiano, and the oldest information regarding it dates back to 994, when the presence of the church was mentioned and identified along the Rafastia stream, now known as Cernicchiara. A very suggestive hypothesis is that of Monsignor Arturo Carucci, according to which the church would have the features of an early Christian baptistery, highlighting some impressive analogies with the sanctuary of the Gianicolo in Rome and with the Baptistery of Sala Consilina dated to the fifth century. These fascinating considerations highlight some details of the church that would highlight its function as a place where the neophytes were baptized; among these, a room below the church, about 2 meters deep which was later used as a burial.
