Co-Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Mary, Gerace, Co-cathedral and minor basilica in Gerace, Italy.

The Santa Maria Assunta co-cathedral features 20 granite and marble columns with late imperial capitals supporting its central nave and side aisles.

The Norman builders constructed this religious edifice between 1080 and 1120, marking the transition from Byzantine control to Norman rule in Calabria.

The structure features a crypt with 26 columns from ancient Locri Epizefiri, demonstrating the integration of Roman materials into medieval religious architecture.

Located at Via Duomo 28 in Gerace, the co-cathedral stands as the largest religious building in Calabria, covering 1690 square meters.

The cathedral contains the Chapel of San Giacomo, which preserves a 12th-century Templar cross and maintains architectural elements from multiple historical periods.
