Nola . Cattedrale di Nola


Nola is a town with a population of about 35.000, located on the foothills of Mount Vesuvius. In the early 5th century, Paulinus von Nola worked in the city, which has been a bishopric since the 2nd century. In 410 Nola was devastated by the Goths under Alaric I. In 455 the Vandal king Genseric had it completely destroyed and its residents sold into captivity. Further looting and destruction were followed in 594 by Lombards, in 860 by Saracens, and in 934 by Hungarians. After the conquest by the Staufer Manfred in 1254, it was annexed to the Kingdom of Sicily.
There was probably a palaeochristian church on the site, founded around the tomb of Saint Felix of Nola, a martyred bishop of the region. It was reconstructed in a Gothic style in the 1370s. The crypt has traces of the older building. It was rebuilt over the centuries, particularly in 1861 after a serious fire; when it was reconstructed in a Neoclassical style
