Dedicated to the Patron Saint of the city, the Cathedral of San Gerardo di Potenza has very ancient origins and stands on the remains of an early Christian basilica, in one of the highest points of the city. The current neoclassical appearance dates back to the end of the 18th century by the architect Antonio Magri, a pupil of Vanvitelli, but the construction of the cathedral dates back to 1197. The main façade of the Cathedral is noteworthy: it is embellished by a valuable portal with two bronze doors created in 1978 by the sculptor Giovanni Niglia, while on the tympanum stands a small rose window which probably belonged to the oldest church, dedicated to the Assumption until the mid-13th century. The current façade is covered with stone slabs and is divided by pilasters with capitals on two orders, underlined by a large string course bearing the coat of arms of Bishop Bonaventura Claverio inserted in the center of the tympanum of the entrance portal. Externally the building is characterized by a very simple structure and a gabled main façade. The cathedral has a Latin cross shape with a single nave, 50 meters long and approximately 7 meters wide and houses 9 chapels distributed between the right side (three) and the left side (four) and 2 on the sides of the transept. To the right of the main portal is the secondary door, with a small staircase and a tympanum supported by various columns. The latter has images sculpted in bronze depicting the Assumption of the Virgin, Saint Gerard, the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Death, the Resurrection, the coat of arms of the Bishop and that of the Pope. The secondary door was created by the artist Marco Santoro from Potenza in 2004. Once inside the Cathedral of San Gerardo , it is a must to stop inside the chapel of the transept on the right, dedicated to St. Gerardo La Porta of Piacenza, patron saint of Potenza, and in the fourth chapel from the left, which houses the remains of bishops Bertazzoni and Vairo. The left chapel of the transept houses the Blessed Sacrament. When you enter this splendid temple your attention is attracted by the valuable frescoes that decorate the vault created by the painter Mario Prayer.The dome is frescoed with images of the people of Potenza who accompany the Bishop San Gerardo in a procession that ends with the presentation of the people to the Madonna and to the figure of God the Father. Also noteworthy is the crypt located next to the main altar. The remains of San Gerardo were initially kept in a sarcophagus of Roman origin. Since 1919, the eighth centenary of the Saint's death, it has been preserved in a precious silver and crystal urn, placed under the altar, dedicated to the Saint. It is worth a visit.

The art work alone was amazing to see, looking up at what you think is a done roof but find out it’s the way the ceiling is painted. Sight not to be missed.

A centre of worship for the city. St Gerard is that patron saint. If there was anything of note in the interior I did not see any explanatory notes in Italian or English.

A trip to Potenza is not complete without a visit to San Gerardo. Don't miss the bronze side doors by my dear friend Marco Santoro. They are modern and very expressive!
