CATTEDRALE SANT'ANDREA

Commissioned and financed by Duke Pirro del Balzo (also responsible for the construction of the castle), the cathedral was built between 1470 and 1502. It has a beautiful stone façade and a 16th-century portal. Observe the 42-metre-high bell tower: its walls are covered with marble and inscriptions of Roman origin. Inside there are some beautiful paintings (Martyrdom of San Felice by Carlo Maratta), a fragmentary fresco showing the Adoration of the Magi by Simone da Firenze, and a 13th century icon of the Madonna dell'Idria.
