Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi is a town (commune) in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy. Sitting on a hilltop near the Fredano river, it is home to a cathedral and a Lombard Castle. Originally settled by the Lombards around 1000 AD, the town was virtually destroyed by magnatude 6.9 earthquake on 23 November 1980, sometimes referred to as the Irpinia earthquake.
The cathedral was originally built in the 11th century and was rebuilt in the 16th century, and again in the 20th century after the earthquake caused the nave to collapse.
The town is home to a smaller church, the Chiesa di San Marco, which was also destroyed and rebuilt after the 1980 Earthquake. Nearby is the The Benedictine Abbey of San Guglielmo al Goleto
