Your answer was: A Crucifix. |
Answer: The Cathedral of Santa Maria di Nardò (Lecce, Italy), is located in the historic Salento region of Italy. It was built on the ruins of a church constructed prior to the year one thousand and is characterized by its basilica form, Baroque architectural design, and its unique arches. Of great historical and artistic value is the Cedar Crucifix of the 12th century, known as the 'Black Christ', placed in a chapel on the left aisle. According to tradition, the artefact was brought to Nardò, together with the relics of Saint Gregorio Armeno, patron saint of the city, by Greek monks. Frescoes dating from the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries adorn the two side aisles. In 1980 the Cathedral of Santa Maria di Nardò was elevated to the dignity of Minor Basilica by Pope John Paul II. 'Nardo, Italy' on Alamy.com Frescoes in the Cathedral of Santa Maria di Nardò
