Cathedral of Archangel St Michael in Vico nel Lazio: relics and a 17th-century painting
The Cathedral of San Michele Arcangelo stands in the heart of Vico nel Lazio, among narrow lanes and still-intact medieval walls. Its origins date back to the 11th century, but its current appearance is the result of the reconstruction of 1585.
A church that has changed over time
The building has a Latin cross floor plan with three naves and a bell tower. In 1780 it was elevated to the status of a collegiate church. It underwent subsequent interventions, such as the reorganisation of the side chapels in the 19th century.
What to see inside
Inside, there is an altarpiece depicting the Madonna Enthroned and a reliquary bust of St George, linked to a local devotion. There is also a painting of the Santissima Trinità (Holy Trinity) attributed to Cavalier d'Arpino (Giuseppe Cesari), along with an organ from 1750.
