The original building dated back to the 12th century when Bishop Enrico and Count Goffredo ordered its construction. In 1293 a magnificent bell tower was built thanks to the Count of Marsico Tommaso di Sanseverino and the seventh Bishop Giovanni Vetere from Salerno, to witness this event there is another inscription at the base of the cusp tower, which attributes the work to Maestro Silvestro. Destroyed in 1809 following a fire, it was rebuilt at the behest of bishop Ignazio Marolda who also worked for the reconstruction of the bishop's palace. The works lasted until 1827, when the remains of San Gianuario, great patron and protector of Marsico Nuovo, today the main patron of the Archdiocese, were placed in the cathedral together with a valuable organ. With it the transfer to the Cathedral of the statue of the talented artist Giacomo Colombo took place, which today shows the original features of the construction that took place in 1714. Following the earthquake of 1857 it was destroyed; in 1875 the reconstruction work began and it was reconsecrated in 1906.
