through the centre from Piazza Duomo towards Via Cavour, as far
as Via Belenzani where you'll see Chiesa di San Francesco
Saverio - the Jesuit Church - in front of you. Continue
to San Lorenzo's Abbey in Piazza Dante. The abbey
is a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture dating from
the 12th century. Another beautiful church is the Chiesa
di San Apollinare in the Piedicastello part of town. The
church was built between the 12 th and the 14 th centuries on the
site of a chapel from the Barbarian era. The church is built in
late Romanesque style complete with buttresses, rounded archways,
an impressive portal and bell tower. It has some Gothic influence
in its soaring structure.
The church of Santa Maria Maggiore covered in
red marble belongs to the16th century.
