The Roman triumphal frieze with its 41m shows 160 figures, 6 sacrificial animals, 5 carts, 6 riding horses and the triumphal quadriga. Please circle the arch clockwise, starting from the northeast corner!

This Arch of Trajan is a single-arched Roman triumphal arch similar to the Arch of Titus in Rome

The Arch of Trajan displays exceptionally well-preserved relief decoration, which represents the only completely preserved depiction of a Roman triumphal frieze.

The church is particularly atmospheric in the morning, when the incoming sunlight illuminates the historical frescoes.

Highlights of Santa Sofia are rare, intensely colored fresco fragments from the 8th and 9th centuries in the apse, depicting scenes of Christianity and the history of San Zaccaria. In addition, the cloister, a picturesque inner courtyard rebuilt by the Normans in the 12th century. The capitals are artfully decorated with mythical creatures, plants, and reliefs. The monastery museum displays significant archaeological collections from Roman antiquity to the Lombard period.

The Church of Hagia Sophia, completed in 762 AD, impresses with a unique complex star floor plan, where a hexagonal inner structure overlaps with an outer circle. Inside, ancient Roman columns (presumably originating from a temple of Isis) support the central dome.

Founded in the 7th century by the Lombards, the Benevento Cathedral reached its zenith in the 12th-13th centuries when it was rebuilt in the Romanesque style and adorned with its famous bronze doors. Tragically, the cathedral was almost completely destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943, though its greatest treasure—the bronze doors—was saved. After the war, the cathedral was reconstructed in a modern Romanesque style and reconsecrated in 1965, becoming a powerful symbol of the city's resilience where visitors can still see the surviving original façade, the bell tower, and the rescued doors.
