Cathedral of Corfinio, Co-cathedral in Corfinio, Italy
The Cathedral of Corfinio is a Roman Catholic church in Abruzzi, Italy, built in the Romanesque style with distinctive stone masonry. Inside, it contains 13th-century frescoes, a carved wooden choir, and an 18th-century ambo that mark different artistic periods.
The church was founded in 1075 at the site where Saint Pelinus was martyred and completed in 1124 under the Diocese of Valva. This period coincided with the rise of Romanesque architecture, which shaped its overall design.
The building takes its name from Saint Pelinus, whose veneration shaped the spiritual identity of this place. Visitors can see how this devotion is reflected in the artistic details and the way the space is organized.
The building sits on Piazza San Pelino in central Corfinio and is open to visitors. The best time to visit is in the morning when daylight illuminates the interior artworks and architectural details clearly.
An attached oratory contains 14th-century frescoes and is traditionally linked to an early papal burial site. This connection reveals how this remote Abruzzi location was integrated into the broader religious landscape of medieval Europe.
