The cathedrals had been in repair of 30 years or more, I had been visiting Gaeta for this long. Only a few years ago was it opened and rededicated. The original must have been way before 12 th century. Inside is quite new, and in Baroque style.
It has 7 narrow aisles, the nave being widest. The pillars are of different eras, pilfered from ancient temples.
The most important is the candelabra stand, of 10-12 feet height, all carved in circular bands, scenes of st. Erasmus, and scenes of Christ. The floor is lovely mosaics in mosarabic patterns, on different small areas, recovered as best as available. Several are blocked on the walls on left side of the church

It is the crypt, that one enters on the Sam left side that is to me the most magnificent. The marble wide steps on 2 sides lead down to a landing that is laid in Bargello pattern in tricolori of white, grey and black. It stands out like 3 d, jumping out of the floor. Another few steps down and the floor at the chapel is the same pattern. This chapel is entirely baroque in style. A few statues , and painted panels on the wall.

Now, the Campanile. It works, and chimes/ tolls a little off the exact hour. But the sound is lovely. The walls are of brick, patterned. What is great is there are pieces of great marble carvings, on the stairs, that leads up to the Cathedral. (the cathedral is built on a slope of a rising hill). Outside one can spy 2 lion heads stuck on the wall, like a decoration, gleaming white marble, in the midday sun.
Please go and visit.

On May 29th the church celebrated Saint Erasmus and Saint Marciano with a special Mass and procession. The altar was decorated with flowers and choirs outside the church sang nice traditional songs

...unfortunately opening hours are so rigid. The guy with the key sent us out before closure time and was so unpatient so we did not have time to look around completely. But we noticed the rich ornamentation and decent architecture. Hope to retrun here sometime and spend here quality time.

The history and art work in the cathedral and connection to Boston. The bell tower, the highest in Gaeta and the crypt , which is an ornate chapel below, which houses the remains of the saints Erasmus and Marciano is a wonderful chapel not to be missed.
