Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta

Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta
La cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta è il principale luogo di culto cattolico della città di Spoleto, chiesa madre dell'arcidiocesi di Spoleto-Norcia.

La cattedrale venne costruita a partire tra il 1151 e il 1227 in luogo di un edificio preesistente; al suo interno, nell'abside, vi è il pregevole ciclo di affreschi di Filippo Lippi Storie della Vergine, dipinto negli ultimi anni di vita dell'artista, tra il maggio 1467 e il settembre 1469.

Spoleto Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta; Duomo di Spoleto) is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Spoleto-Norcia created in 1821, previously that of the diocese of Spoleto, and the principal church of the Umbrian city of Spoleto, in Italy. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The church is essentially an example of Romanesque architecture, with a nave and two side-aisles crossed by a transept, although subsequently modified. It was built from the second half of the twelfth century after the city had been devastated by Frederick Barbarossa's troops, over an area where there had previously stood an earlier cathedral, dedicated to Saint Primianus (San Primiano)[1] and destroyed by the emperor. A notable external porch and the belfry were added in the fifteenth and sixteenth century respectively.

That I loved, even if inside is now baroque, because of the frescos of Filippo Lippi.

Molto bella esternamente, all'interno come al solito l'hanno trasformata in barocca.Meno male che gli affreschi nascondono un pò la cosa.
