Isernia Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Isernia, Italy
Isernia Cathedral is a baroque church with white stone walls that rises on Piazza Andrea in the old city center. The building displays typical baroque features throughout its facade and internal structure.
The cathedral was built in 1349 on the foundations of an ancient Italic temple from the 3rd century BC. This construction marks the connection between ancient religious use and medieval church building at this location.
The cathedral serves as the spiritual center of the Isernia-Venafro diocese and shapes the religious life of the city. It draws both worshippers and visitors who appreciate its role as a gathering place for the community.
You enter the cathedral through the main entrance facing Piazza Andrea and can keep in mind the regular services held throughout the week. Free viewing outside service times is usually possible and allows time to explore.
The building has survived multiple earthquakes over the centuries but suffered severe damage in 1805. The reconstruction work that followed gave it the appearance visitors see today.
