Gaeta cathedral, Minor basilica and cathedral in Gaeta, Italy
The cathedral features a 57-meter bell tower with three orders of biforas supported by Corinthian columns, displaying Norman and Arab architectural elements.
The cathedral's structure evolved from an ancient church of Santa Maria del Parco when the bishopric relocated from Formia to Gaeta in the late 8th century.
The cathedral houses the relics of Saint Erasmus, transferred in 842 after a Saracen raid, establishing a strong devotional connection with the local population.
The cathedral contains a museum displaying Roman and medieval artworks, including ancient sarcophagi and religious artifacts from different historical periods.
The bell tower's base incorporates materials from the mausoleum of Lucius Sempronius Atratinus, connecting Roman antiquity with medieval Christian architecture.
