Troia

Overview

It is a very ancient city, Troia, its history spanning the centuries and recounted in its precious architecture; its essence, too, is encapsulated in the Cathedral of Santa Maria dell'Assunta, the symbol and heart of the town. The jewel of the building is the 13th-century rose window, a splendid stone embroidery unique in the world for the eleven rays created by the cylindrical columns and for the fretwork all different from each other. Delving into the secrets of Troy means entering the 18th-century halls of the former bishop's palace, where the Cathedral Treasury Museum is housed: here your eyes will be enchanted by the priceless collection of silver, bronze, gold and ivory, caskets, ampullae, reliquaries and silver busts, but the real 'treasure' are the parchments, dated between 1000 and 1900, including papal letters and imperial donations.
