Cathedrals

The seat of the bishop is the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption ( it, Santa Maria Assunta) in Sora. Both former cathedrals, S. Bartolomeo Apostolo in Pontecorvo and Aquino's Santi Costanzo e Tommaso d’Aquino Cathedral, are now ranked as co-cathedrals and were granted the status of minor basilica.
