Ascoli Piceno Cathedral, Cathedral and minor basilica in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
The cathedral features a rectangular travertine facade with Corinthian columns, centered around the entrance portal and adorned with a rose window.
The initial temple emerged in the 5th century over Roman remains, undergoing transformations between the 5th and 16th centuries with Gothic and Renaissance influences.
The cathedral contains the tomb of Saint Emidius, first bishop and patron of Ascoli Piceno, venerated as protector against earthquakes.
The cathedral opens onto Piazza Arringo, with five bells in its bell tower, including the main Sant'Emidio bell weighing 2,800 kilograms from 1655.
The crypt consists of seven small naves divided by travertine columns, housing artistic treasures including Carlo Crivelli's Sant'Emidio Polyptych from 1894.
