Neo-Gotica Cathedral - details and images
It stands out mainly because the two twin towers, built in neo-Gothic style, visible from virtually any area of the city. Unfortunately, it is almost always in the process of renovation, largely because of its tumultuous history. Founded in 1093, was completed only in 1242 the original building in the Romanesque style. The next 21 years have been quite harmful to the building, badly damaged by the repeated sieges of the Tartars. In 1624, a series of devastating fires almost completely destroyed the church, because, in 1645, the last eruption of flames to break down all that was left standing. Rebuilt with great difficulty, was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1880. There followed 12 years of restoration, during which they were raised its beautiful neo-Gothic towers. In 1990, restoration work commenced on the exterior of the cathedral, still under development. The old buildings are preserved frescoes of the thirteenth century, Renaissance pews, marble altars and a pulpit in Baroque style.
