History

Construction of the present building, in Romanesque style, began in 1075, although the site is older - a Roman temple is believed to have stood there - and what is now visible is the result of many more recent layers of architecture applied over centuries.

The original dedication was to the Virgin Mary, but many changes took place in the 12th century, among them a change of dedication to Saint Pamphilus, the patron saint of Sulmona.

The cathedral was badly damaged in the earthquake of 1706, and rebuilt in a Baroque form, some of which can still be seen despite more recent renovations.

gollark: I looked at its (Go - ew) code and am not sure exactly why its works and mine doesn't.
gollark: Yes. It's weird, since I have some software on my laptop which uses multicast for service discovery and seems to have it work perfectly?
gollark: Hmm, this page says that the code hasn't been tested and also has no information for IPv6.
gollark: I thought it was limited to what fit in an IP packet, so about 1280 bytes.
