Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Castel di Sangro, Italy.
The Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral features three naves with two rows of arches and twin bell towers that dominate the city skyline.
Built in 1695 following the designs of architect Francesco Ferradini, this cathedral replaced a 5th-century church destroyed by an earthquake in 1456.
The cathedral exhibits numerous art pieces, including a bronze group of Christ's Baptism attributed to the Cellini school and marble inlays decorating the altars.
The cathedral stands on a hill in the upper part of Castel di Sangro, known as Civita, and includes an interparochial museum for visitors.
Eight stone statues of saints adorn the facade, while the wooden pulpit contains a 15th-century panel illustrating scenes from Jesus's life.
