Capua Cathedral, Minor basilica and cathedral in Capua, Italy.
The Cathedral of Capua stands with Romanesque and Baroque architectural elements, featuring a bell tower that rises 27 meters above the city streets.
Dating from 856, Bishop Landulfo established the first church on this site using columns from the local amphitheater for its construction.
The cathedral houses precious artworks, including Francesco Solimena's altarpiece depicting the Assumption of the Virgin and paintings by Domenico Vaccaro.
The Diocesan Museum, established in 1992 within one of the cathedral's chapels, displays religious artifacts and art pieces from the region.
The cathedral underwent complete reconstruction between 1949 and 1957 following its destruction during World War II bombardment in September 1943.
