Cathedral |

The Isernia Cathedral was rebuilt and remodelled several times due to the many earthquakes that hitted the city. The neo-classical church features a tetrastyle portico of ionic order. On the right is the elegant bell tower topped with a smart steeple.

Fraterna Fountain |
|
The fountain was built in honour of Pope Celestino V who was born in the Isernia region, the Molise. It is named after a congregation established by Celestino himself, before becoming pope, called Frataria, that is to say brotherhood. It was built with some stones and pillars found in a near roman archaeological site. The fountain, actually, embodies some roman lapidaria (gravestones) and features a colonnade with an entablature decoration of blind arches.
