SEMINARY

The Seminary is the magnificent building you can see adorned with windows across the facade and a distinctive entrance with a loggia. It was built in 1694 by Giuseppe Cino, who took his inspiration from the Convent of the Celestine Order at the Church of Santa Croce.

Inside the Seminary is a courtyard with arches, built by Cino at the beginning of the 18th century, in an extravagantly decorative style. You can also visit a chapel with some elaborate stucco work, dating to 1696, and, on the second floor, the Diocesan Museum and a Library.  

The spectacular facade to the left of the Seminary, with bossage work, or relief stone, on the lower part and arches on the top part, is a sort of introduction to the facade of the Archbishop’s Palace, where the same design continues.
