St. Mary Cathedreal | |||||||||||||||

The façade, covered with white marble, is opened by a gothic portale on which there is a still gothic rose window, and it is bordered by two lateral structures of the XVII century.
It is a church with nave and two aisles and a wooden ceiling carved by P. Giambelli between 1662 and 1670. There are paintings of Solimena, Fiasella (The Visitation of Mary to St. Elisabeth) and others, sculptures of L. and F. Riccomanni, a Della Robbia school terracotta. A particular mention deserves the so called Chapel of the Crucifixion, on the left of the altar, where it is kept a canvas representing Christ, a picture that Mastro Guglielmo made in 1138, a fundamental work for the Romanesque painting.
