Taranto Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of San Cataldo, is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture located in the city of Taranto, Italy. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Cataldus, an Irish bishop who lived in the 7th century.
The exterior of the cathedral is characterized by its striking bell tower, which stands at over 50 meters tall and is visible from many parts of the city. The tower is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, including a statue of Saint Cataldus at the very top. The façade of the cathedral is also decorated with beautiful reliefs and sculptures, including a depiction of the Last Judgment above the main entrance.
Inside, the cathedral is equally impressive. The nave is lined with columns and arches, and the ceiling is adorned with frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Saint Cataldus. The altar is a masterpiece of Baroque art, featuring a stunning marble sculpture of the saint himself. The cathedral also houses a number of other important works of art, including a painting of the Madonna and Child by the 17th-century artist Giovanni Battista Caracciolo.
Visitors to Taranto Cathedral can also explore the crypt, which is located beneath the main altar. The crypt contains the remains of Saint Cataldus, as well as a number of other important relics and artifacts.
Overall, Taranto Cathedral is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city of Taranto. Its stunning architecture, beautiful artwork, and rich history make it a true gem of the region.
