During the 13th century, James II of Aragon wanted to expand the city and had a new wall of fortification built along with the existing wall extending it to the northwest where he incorporated the “Botteghelle” gate that gave access to a small cemetery situated on the outside of the gate.
Originally it was on the outside of the city walls and it was also called “Boceria” because it faced a small building where animals were butchered. Its arched portico design dates back to 1874 and is the work of Giovanbattista Talotti.
Built in 1102 as a chapel of the Genoese, it underwent an important expansion in the fifteenth century by the architect Bonaventura Certo. In 1743, the architect G.B. Amico built the current facade with a busy porch, the bell tower and dome. It was consecrated a cathedral in 1844.
