| Called the Basilica of Santa Maria del Ponte (Saint Mary of the Bridge) and situated on Piazza Plebiscito, the neo-classical style cathedral we see today dates from the 18th century (the belltower in the early 17th century), although an earlier church stood here from the 11th century onwards.Th cathedral is built on the ruins of a Roman bridge - the name comes from the bridge itself, and the discovery of a statue of the Madonna and Child during the building of the cathedral.Inside the cathedral it is the decorative columns, and painted vaults and dome that are the highlights. |
