GAETA MEDIEVALE a unique, an absolute historical/architectural rarity, an ancient ecclesiastical complex for sale in the heart of the historic center of Sant'Erasmo, the ancient church of San Benedetto (8th century) with its bell tower and the small adjoining convent, is a property representative of a piece of the city's history. Dating back to 761 AD, mentioned for the first time in a document of the Abbey of Montecassino, it appears in a first official document that is identical in 887, open for worship until the beginning of the 19th century, the structure already subject to changes over the centuries due to the various historical and architectural influences that have followed one another, each of which has added and/or enriched it with architectural and construction elements and fetations dating back to the 19th century, has suffered its irreversible deterioration following the destruction of the Second World War which led to its abandonment. The resulting degradation is more evident in the church area, compromising the structural part which caused the collapse of the original vaulted roofs, while the bell tower and the convent area, although also in need of static consolidation, still appear intact today in their original volume and distribution of spaces, these areas being still used for residential purposes until the mid-1980s. The body of the ancient church was covered with three naves, on the old apse side stood the bell tower that surmounted the roof of the church and which over time was raised to the current 4 levels, adjacent to this the small convent structure that was connected to the church by a walkway (tunnel) still existing, and which had inside a small cloister still visible, on the lower floors you can still see the historical stratifications and some original architectural and construction elements such as embedded columns, an old well with wash house, the portal on the facade of the 13th century with ogival arch, traces of stucco and frescoes now deteriorated. The dimensions of the covered area are approximately 280 m2 to which must be added all the uncovered parts including cloisters, balconies, passages, terraces (20 m2), the complex is registered as a dwelling and has no binding intended use, the urban planning regulations classify it as a "building of environmental value... conservative restoration of the facades and surviving architectural elements is mandatory, both structural and distributive transformations are permitted in compliance with the existing volumes" this allows a reinterpretation and remodulation of the spaces while respecting the above, in the past authorizations have already been obtained from the Superintendency for consolidation works. The complex internally presents itself as a very complex set of spaces connected and fitted together like a puzzle by stairways, balconies, walkways, a small cloister, it has about 12 rooms, two terraces on the 3rd level and on the 4th floor of the tower with a splendid panoramic view of the sea, the Castle, and other architectural features of the village, in the center of this there is a small loggia (ancient bell room), the body of the ancient church is a single large space of about 130 square meters which in a recovery hypothesis, as in the local tradition, could be left open as a hanging garden or patio. It requires major interventions starting from a general work of static consolidation and a careful restoration that allows to recover and preserve this characteristic and extraordinary property, with a reuse project, for residential or hospitality purposes, that preserves its integrity and does not alter the place and structure beyond what is strictly necessary to ensure a solution that still responds to the most contemporary sensibilities of space and comfort that every contemporary design requires, while enhancing its great potential by giving us back a property anchored to its time. In addition to being a unique real estate opportunity, it is also the opportunity to recover for the city a small jewel of its art and its history, suitable and addressed for those who know how to fully grasp its spirit to realize a life project for those who want to create a unique, suggestive and original home, a home that would have sewn on the charm of history, without sacrificing compromises with modernity and functionality; an absolutely rare solution, it is suitable both for creating a residential project (divisible into a maximum of two units) or a small charming hospitality structure in the heart of the historic center. It is not suitable for speculative operations, no time wasters, it is advisable to be assisted by trusted technicians during the inspection.
