Acerno Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Acerno, Italy

The cathedral features a central nave with two side aisles, a transept, an apse, and a four-story bell tower topped by an onion dome.

The construction began in 1575 on the remains of an earlier church that Pope Leo I declared cathedral of Acerno diocese in 444.

The interior contains 18th-century frescoes by Leonardo Pallante depicting the four Evangelists, along with a preserved high altar from the period.

The cathedral stands at 727 meters above sea level, near the Tusciano River valley, and remains an active place of worship within the Salerno-Campagna-Acerno archdiocese.

Multiple earthquakes and a fire necessitated extensive renovations, with the most recent reconstruction completed in 1989 to restore the building for religious services.
