Sumptuous, enormous, gigantic and so on and so forth. Very simple (as "sober" and not sumptuous churches should be). There was no one, not even a sacristan who could supervise... rude people exist since their mothers are always pregnant. It is an 11th-12th century church with a wooden vault. There is the Ferrillo crypt intended to house the remains of the barons, four columns divide the space of the crypt and on the side walls there are frescoes. The ceiling decorations simulate a cross vault with medallions. It's the part that attracted me the most. Then there is a radial chapel dedicated to San Michele.

Impressive cathedral. Rebuilt in 1561 because of the earthquake in 1476, sober but sublime inside. Very beautiful and worth seeing baroque crypt.

Beautiful Cathedral in Apulian Romanesque style, which has been a historical bastion of the city for almost a thousand years. Perhaps, as in many other churches in the South, the Templars really passed through. However, it is certainly less likely that the daughter of Vlad III, known as the Impaler, is buried in his crypt. What is certain is that he presents many enigmas among his sculptures and his bas-reliefs, which are not easy to find elsewhere. I was very struck, for example, by the face, carved in the crypt, of a man with a curved beard (Dracula himself?) and by the statues positioned under one of the columns at the entrance, where you can see scenes of possible bites on the necks of women. So why not let your imagination fly?

Nice place. We found ourselves visiting it for my niece's confirmation. The lack of organization of both the curia and the municipal administration (even the traffic police were not coordinated with each other) made the stay unpleasant. Hundreds of people crowded together with no escape route. Extremely rejected.

Very ancient, the Cathedral of Acerenza is a severe, austere place with no frills that can distract from prayer and contact with the Divine. To visit, together with the sixteenth-century crypt.
