Co-Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption and Saint Catellus of Castellamare
Co-Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption and Saint Catellus of Castellamare, Catholic co-cathedral in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy.
The cathedral features a Latin cross layout with three naves, multiple chapels, and a grand staircase made from local piperno stone.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1587 on the site of a Christian cemetery near an ancient Roman road connecting Nocera and Stabiae.
The central nave displays frescoes by Vincenzo Paliotti depicting the life of Saint Catello, with surrounding lunettes representing different virtues.
Visitors can access the cathedral through three arched entrances supported by four pillars, leading to a spacious interior decorated with marble elements.
Excavations beneath the cathedral revealed a Paleochristian necropolis and remnants of ancient Roman houses with preserved street segments and doorways.
