In the narrow streets and compact quarter of Salerno's historic center is the church of the Most Holy Crucifix. Referred to in Italian as the Santissimo Crocifisso, its modern facade hides an ancient interior. The church was built in the 1200s as part of the monastic complex of San Benedetto.
The church was originally called Santa Maria della PietĂ di Portanova but the name was changed to reflect the possession of a prized painted wood crucifix created in the 1200s. The important relic is housed in the Diocesan Museum.
Salerno Cathedral (or duomo) is the main church in the city of Salerno in southern Italy and a major tourist attraction. It is dedicated to Saint Matthew, whose relics are inside the crypt. Begun by Robert Guiscard in 1076 in the episcopate of Alfano I, the Duomo was consecrated by Pope Gregory VII in 1084.
The Duomo is a symbol of the Italian Renaissance because inside is the tomb of Pope Gregory VII who rejected imperial domination of the church.
The most striking external feature is the bell tower (mid-12th century), with small arcades and mullioned windows, standing 56 m high and in Arabic-Norman style. It contains 8 large bells.
In 1081, shortly after completion, the relics of the apostle Matthew, patron saint of the city, were buried in the crypt in the presence of Alfano I, Emperor Michele and Duke Roberto il Guiscardo. Pope Gregory VII officially consecrated the Basilica. The Basilica was destroyed in an earthquake on June 5, 1688 and and rebuilt in the 17th century.
