The Cathedral is placed on its left side. Though this building was initially in Romanesque style, few remnants of that period can still be seen today. Among these, the external apse dates back from 1089-1132, though it was reconstructed in 1746 after an earthquake which had damaged the building overall architectural structure. The baroque bell tower was built in 1780. The building layout is shaped as a Latin cross with a nave and two aisles. Recent renovations involved the removal of baroque decorations inside the cathedral. Between 1957 and 1968, interesting and precious mosaic-art finds were discovered on the ancient 1178 floor, with characteristic zoomorphic patterns surely connected with lost Carolingian-cycle scenes.
