Camerino Cathedral, Minor basilica and cathedral in Camerino, Italy
Description
Camerino Cathedral is a neoclassical building with symmetrical proportions, grand columns, and a central dome above the main altar. The structure features a spacious layout with a distinctive facade that displays typical characteristics of this architectural style.
History
An earthquake destroyed the medieval structure in 1799, after which architects Andrea Vici and Clemente Folchi designed the current building between 1802 and 1832. This rebuilding period significantly shaped the appearance of the city center.
Culture
The cathedral holds multiple religious artworks, including a wooden crucifix from the 13th century and a Madonna icon from the 15th century. These pieces show how this place has served as a center of devotion for the community across many generations.
Practical
The cathedral is open to visitors on most days and the main entrance is located on the western side of the building. It helps to check beforehand if special services are taking place, as these may affect general access.
Did you know?
The crypt beneath the cathedral holds two stone lions from the 14th century, created by Armanno da Pioraco and guarding the entrance. Below also rests a marble sarcophagus containing the remains of Saint Ansovinus, the city's patron saint.
