Cattedrale di Sessa Aurunca

The cathedral features three naves supported by eighteen Roman and medieval columns, with a grand portico adorned with marble reliefs at its entrance.

Construction began in 1113 using materials from ancient Roman buildings, and the cathedral received its consecration in 1183 under religious authorities.

The marble reliefs decorating the three-arch portico depict scenes from Saint Peter's life and the Book of Genesis, reflecting medieval religious narratives.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the interior spaces, including the decorated pulpit and the twenty-column crypt.

The cathedral's ambo, constructed during Bishop Pandolfo's tenure between 1224 and 1259, stands on six granite columns with intricate stone carvings.
