Maria Santissima cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Rossano, Italy.
The cathedral features a central nave with two side aisles leading to three apses, complemented by a bell tower from the 14th century.
Built in the 11th century, this religious building underwent substantial changes during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting different architectural periods.
The cathedral holds the Codex Purpureus Rossanensis, a 5th-century Greek manuscript with 188 purple-dyed pages containing the Gospels of Matthew and Mark.
The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors and continues to function as the primary seat of the Archbishop of Rossano-Cariati.
