Duomo di San Lorenzo, Cathedral in Scala, Italy

The Duomo di San Lorenzo displays a blend of architectural elements, with a massive bell tower and white interior walls contrasting against brown exterior surfaces.

The cathedral, built in the 11th century, transformed from Romanesque-Gothic architecture to Rococo style during the 18th-century renovation period.

Inside the central nave, holy water stoups feature various aged pieces, including a small Romanesque frog sculpture and decorative Baroque palm leaf motifs.

Visitors can explore the recently restored Crypt of Purgatory, discovered in 1958, which now hosts regular cultural events throughout the year.

The cathedral houses a rare 14th-century Neapolitan silver chalice, recognized as one of the oldest religious artifacts on the Amalfi Coast.
