Nepi Cathedral

The Duomo di Nepi or the Basilica Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Sant'Anastasia is a Neoclassical-style, Roman Catholic church located in Nepi, region of Lazio, Italy.

A church at the site arose in the 5th century, but was destroyed during the Lombard invasion. A larger church was finally erected in the 12th century. This Romanesque edifice was burned by the French forces in 1798. Of the prior building only the crypt remains. The church was rebuilt between 1818 and 1840.[1]
