Acerenza Cathedral ((イタリア語:Duomo di Acerenza), ''Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Canio'') is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to Saint Canius in the town of Acerenza, in the province of Potenza and the region of Basilicata, Italy. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Acerenza. The cathedral is one of the most notable Romanesque structures in this part of Italy. ==History and description== The diocese was certainly established by the late 5th century,〔(Catholic Hierarchy: Archdiocese of Acerenza )〕 but the structure of the present Romanesque cathedral building dates from 1080, when construction was begun under archbishop Arnald of Cluny. The site however is far more ancient and traces remain in the present building both of a pagan temple to Hercules Acheruntinus and of the earlier Christian church. It has a Latin cross ground plan, and three aisles, which terminate in a raised presbytery behind which is an apse with an ambulatory and three radiating chapels, an unusual feature in Italian church design; the transept also terminates at either end in a semi-circular chapel. The ambulatory contains the altar which houses the relics of Saint Canius (or Canus; (イタリア語:San Canio)). The crypt dates from 1524 and contains what is believed to be the sarcophagus of Saint Canius. The campanile was added in 1555, and reuses many interesting fragments of ancient stonework, including two Roman sarcophagi and a sacrificial altar decorated with bulls' heads. The interior of the cathedral features many unusual zoomorphic and floral carvings, in the Cluniac manner, the possible symbolic significance of which has caused speculation.〔as for example in (this article )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acerenza Cathedral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
