Travel with EasyDayTrip and discover Casale Monferrato Cathedral
Italy

A long time took for this cathedral to be completed, and for a good reason – the narthex is unique in Italian context due to the Armenian and Islamic features. Inside its walls there is a vibrant contrast between Gothic and Romanesque architectural features. Next to the marble rendition of Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, there is an elegant column with the monogram of Christ, signifying the location where St. Evasio was martyred. The legend says you can even hear the flow of his blood if you press your ear hard enough against the column. This is truly a unique mixture of many artistic styles and preferences – from a medieval crucifix crowned with silver foils all the way to a Baroque high altar, a rococo choir and many textile artefacts.
