Tourists looking for things to do in Baia Domizia should check out the impressive Duomo di Sessa Aurunca, or the Cathedral of Sessa Aurunca. The cathedral dates to the 12th century, most likely around 1103, and has a majestic façade with three large arches. Within one of the arches, you’ll find a magnificent example of Romanesque sculpture work. Indeed, the entire façade is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in the area. Some experts claim that the church was built over an area that once housed an ancient pagan or paleo-Christian temple, while others claim that the cathedral was merely built from material taken from pagan temples, most likely dating to Roman times.

The façade has three doors and is decorated with numerous bas-reliefs depicting holy images, including scenes from the life of Saint Peter. The interior of the church is composed of three naves divided by eighteen pillars with Corinthian capitals. Besides the original Romanesque architecture, the interior of the church is also characterized by certain Baroque decorations, added at a later time. The church has a crypt, which is located in the central area. The pavement of the crypt is in beautiful mosaic style. Besides the mosaic pavement, the cathedral houses many other works of art, such as the painting entitled “Comunione degli Apostoli”, or the “Communion of the Apostles”. To give yourself enough time to check out th Cathedral and other sites in the area, reserve a room in one of the Baia Domizia hotels; if you're on a budget, do a search for cheap hotels in Baia Domizia.
