Cosenza Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture located in the city of Cosenza, Italy. The cathedral dates back to the 11th century and has undergone several renovations and additions over the centuries, resulting in a unique blend of architectural styles.
The exterior of the cathedral is characterized by its imposing bell tower, which stands at over 30 meters tall and is visible from all over the city. The façade is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, including a beautiful rose window and a relief of the Madonna and Child.
Inside, visitors are greeted by a spacious nave with soaring arches and columns. The cathedral's most notable feature is its stunning ceiling, which is decorated with a series of frescoes depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The frescoes were painted by the renowned artist Andrea Vaccaro in the 17th century and are considered some of the finest examples of Baroque art in southern Italy.
Other highlights of the cathedral include the ornate altar, which is made of marble and features intricate carvings and sculptures, and the chapel of the Holy Crucifix, which houses a revered relic of the True Cross.
