Acerenza Cathedral, Romanesque-Gothic cathedral in Acerenza, Italy

The cathedral features a Latin cross layout with Renaissance elements, including a sequence of turrets, apses, and intricate stone carvings on its facade.

Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, the cathedral stands on the foundations of an early Christian church and a Roman temple dedicated to Hercules Acheruntinus.

The interior contains frescoes by Todisco of Abriola and several artistic decorations that represent the religious traditions of Basilicata region.

Located at Piazza Gianturco 7, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and religious services, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.

The cathedral's elevated position at 850 meters above sea level makes it visible from multiple surrounding valleys in the Basilicata landscape.
