The Church of S. Maria della Pietà, its architectural lineage tracing back to the enigmatic epochs of the 10th and 11th centuries, once bore a different name. Until the year 1857, it was known by its former appellation, before it embraced the title of SS. Crocifisso. During that pivotal year, it played host to the parish of San Benedetto, albeit temporarily, as military forces shuttered its sacred doors. The church stands as a testament to time, an embodiment of the basilican archetype with its three apses facing the eastern horizon. Its interior, a symphony of three naves, is punctuated by columns, ancient remnants repurposed, bearing the weight of rounded masonry arches adorned with the eloquent embrace of a yellow tufo cornice. A subtle inclination graces the northern flank of the edifice, bestowing upon it a gentle, almost imperceptible tilt. Within a recess on the left, a rectangular niche harbors an 18th-century wooden Crucifix, attributed to the hand of Pietro Barliario, whose presence emerges like a spectral whisper during certain seasons. Beneath the right altar, frescoes from the 16th and 17th centuries weave their narratives into the tapestry of time. Beyond the church's hallowed confines, along the lateral wall that gazes upon Via Mercanti, the observer is graced by the original Romanesque masonry, its facade adorned with monofore, like ancient eyes that once beheld the passage of centuries. The passage of time has etched its signature upon this sacred enclave throughout the 20th century. In 1928, a new facade emerged, an academic interpretation, crowned by an overhanging portico that mirrored the church's interior, with its three apses. Following the tumultuous floodwaters of 1954, the church was painstakingly restored and fortified, reviving its original visage in a false neoromanesque garb. The second facade, a more recent addition, embraced the interior of the 20th-century portico, while to its right, a bell tower was raised to pierce the heavens. Beneath the feet of worshippers lies a hidden realm, the crypt, officially unveiled in the year 1950. It is believed to precede the upper church, its origins harkening back to the 8th century. A celebrated fresco of the Crucifixion, dating back to the 13th or 14th century, stands as a testament to the Angevin influences that once graced Salerno, within a fully functioning subterranean sanctuary. The crypt, much like its celestial counterpart, boasts a basilican floorplan, its heart adorned with three naves, their division marked by vaulted cross arches, their ascent culminating in three apses facing the east. These arches cradle themselves upon pilasters, enshrining the ancient columns of yore. Along the northern wall, monofore bestow their timeless grace, a silent chorus to the crypt's...

La chiesa risale a prima del Duecento ed in origine si chiamava "chiesa Santa Maria della Pietà di Portanova". Essa era annessa al contiguo ed omonimo monastero, non molto lontano dal Duomo; fu poi associata al più potente monastero di San Benedetto. Deve il suo nome al fatto che vi era custodita una venerata croce su tavola, dipinta nel Duecento, ora conservata nel Museo diocesano. Descrizione La chiesa è a pianta basilicale, a tre navate, con abside semi-circolare. Presenta struttura principale in muratura portante con copertura a due falde in capriate lignee a vista sulla navata principale; le navate laterali sono voltate. Le pareti interne si presentano intonacate e tinteggiate in bianco; le arcate tra la navata principale e le laterali si presentano con la muratura originaria a vista. La pavimentazione dell'aula è in mattonelle di granigliato di marmo. La facciata principale è moderna e costituita, centralmente, da tre portali d'ingresso ad arco con infissi in legno. Presenta nella parte basamentale una zoccolatura alta in travertino, poi, nella parte superiore si presenta intonacata e tinteggiata in ocra chiaro. Sempre nella parte alta è presente una fila di 7 monofore al di sopra del rosone vetrato circolare. Sul lato sud della facciata si erge lo slanciato campanile a...

Crkva Svetog Krsta, srednjovekovno blago u istočnom predgrađu Salerna. Divite se arhitekturi sa rimskim stubovima i istražite njenu unutrašnju lepotu oslikano freskama u lombardijskom stilu. Uprkos modernim izazovima, ova crkva ostaje simbol otpornosti i bogatog kulturnog nasleđa Salerna. Poreklo crkve datira još iz perioda pre 13. veka. Prvobitno poznata kao crkva Santa Marija dela Pijeta di Portanova, bila je usko povezana sa obližnjim manastirom. Istorijski zapisi ukazuju da ju je nadbiskupu poklonio sinu grofa Landonea 1140. godine. Vremenom se povezala sa manastirom San Benedeto i na kraju usvojila svoje sadašnje ime. Arhitektonski stil crkve je izrazito baziličan. Unutrašnjost je ukrašena sa dva reda lukova koje nosi šest stubova iz rimskog doba. Ova mešavina antičkih i srednjovekovnih elemenata stvara atmosferu bezvremenskog poštovanja. Prikaz Hrista sa zatvorenim očima označava odstupanje od vizantijske tradicije prikazivanja sa otvorenim očima, što simbolizuje božanstvo. Ljubitelji umetnosti će pronaći upečatljiv prikaz Raspeća, za koji se procenjuje da potiče iz prve...

La chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso si trova in Via Mercanti, nel punto in cui si incrociano il centro storico e il corso principale. Si affaccia su una piazzetta ricavata nel 1928 dalla demolizione di case fatiscenti, anno in cui fu anche realizzata la facciata in stile barocco. In seguito all’alluvione del 1956 fu edificata la facciata attuale. Di questa chiesa non si conosce molto, ma la tradizione vuole che sia stata fondata in epoca longobarda da un nipote dell’imperatore Costantino, ma non si hanno sue notizie certe fino al 1200 circa, quando divenne sede del convento delle clarisse. La struttura della chiesa è di tipo basilicale, con tre absidi e tre navate. All’interno vi sono due ordini di archi. Questi si sorreggono grazie a sei colonne di epoca romana con capitelli diversi. La prima colonna a sinistra è l’unica ad avere una decorazione in rilievo a spirale. Nell’abside centrale, il mosaico moderno riproduce l’affresco della Crocifissione che si trova nella cripta.
