Duomo of Nocera Umbra

The Duomo of Nocera Umbra features a single nave structure with arches, girders, and a semicircular apse incorporating neoclassical elements from 19th-century renovations.

The cathedral, built on foundations dating before the year 1000, suffered destruction by Emperor Frederick II in 1248 and remained abandoned until reconstruction began in 1448.

The side entrance portal displays intricate stone carvings depicting various grape varieties and animals, representing medieval artistic expressions from the 10th century.

Visitors can explore the cathedral's art collection, including Renaissance altarpieces and 17th-century works, now housed in the municipal Pinacotheca adjacent to the building.

The cathedral's sacristy contains distinctive majolica floor tiles and maintains its original position as a religious site previously dedicated to the goddess Favonia.
