Avellino Cathedral

The cathedral features a neoclassical facade with white and grey marble, three entrance portals, and four columns spanning two architectural levels.

Bishop Roberto of Avellino initiated the construction between 1132 and 1166, maintaining its Romanesque design until the late seventeenth century transformations.

The bronze doors display religious and civic events from Avellino's past, while statues of Saint Modestinus and Saint William of Vercelli guard the entrance.

Visitors can access nine lateral chapels through the three-nave interior layout, which includes a baptistery and features numerous religious artworks.

The bell tower incorporates stones and marble from first-century Roman buildings in its lower sections, connecting ancient and medieval architecture.
