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.
