Rapolla Cathedral

The cathedral features three naves separated by columns and arches, with a Norman bell tower standing as a prominent architectural element.

Initially constructed in 1076, the cathedral underwent reconstruction after earthquakes, leading to its current Baroque structure consecrated in 1770.

The cathedral contains a notable 16th-century crucifix with bas-reliefs depicting Adam and Eve, along with a 13th-century carved polychrome wooden crucifix.

Located at Via Regina Elena 35 in Rapolla, the cathedral stands at coordinates 40.97755 latitude and 15.677 longitude in the Basilicata region.

The bell tower remains the sole surviving element of the original Norman architecture, preserving medieval craftsmanship amid the later Baroque reconstruction.
