Salerno Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Salerno, Italy
The cathedral features a 56-meter bell tower with Arabic-Norman architectural elements, small arcades, and eight large bronze bells from different periods.
Robert Guiscard initiated the construction in 1076, and Pope Gregory VII consecrated the cathedral in 1084 during the Principality of Salerno period.
The cathedral contains the remains of Saint Matthew in its crypt, where a special liquid called Manna San Matteo flowed until the nineteenth century.
The entrance portal includes Byzantine bronze doors from Constantinople with 56 panels depicting religious scenes and a grand stairway with marble lions.
The quadriporticus represents the only example of Romanesque architecture of its kind in Italy, with columns supporting rounded arches and Roman sarcophagi.
