Campo Santo

This building has become the fourth on the cathedral square. The construction of the massive Gothic cloister was started in 1278 by the architect Giovanni di Simone and was completed only in 1464. It is believed that this should not have been a cemetery at all, but the Church of the Holy Trinity, but the project was changed during the work. It is reliably known that the oldest part of the building is the western one, the eastern one has completed construction.

Cathedral (Duomo of Santa Maria Assunta)

The famous architect Busketo di Giovanni Giudice became the author of the project of the Cathedral. A tribute from the Balearic Islands served as the funds for the construction of this architectural work. Consisting of five naves with their transept divided into three naves, the cathedral is crowned with a majestic dome surrounded by a loggia. The façade of this famous cathedral combines intricate decorations in marble (which is also present in its interior), mosaics and bronze.

Its façade is made of white marble and gray stone, complemented by decorative elements of colored marble. Above the main entrance, you can see the name of the master Rainaldo, who is the author of the facade. Also, from the outside of the cathedral, the tomb of Buscheto with an inscription indicating the date of the beginning of the construction of the cathedral attracts attention.
