Cathedral of San Gerardo, Minor basilica and cathedral in Potenza, Italy
The Cathedral of San Gerardo exhibits a combination of Romanesque architecture and neoclassical elements, featuring a prominent stone bell tower with five stories.
The current structure was built between 1783 and 1799 following designs by Antonio Magri, replacing an earlier church from the 12th century.
The cathedral houses a 15th-century reliquary statue of Saint Gerard and contains frescoes by Mario Prayer depicting scenes from both testaments.
The cathedral maintains regular religious services and stands as the primary church of the Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo archdiocese since 1986.
Under the main altar, a crypt preserves archaeological remains including mosaic pavements from previous religious structures dating to the 5th century.
