Santa Maria Capua Vetere
Santa Maria Capua Vetere is a town and comune in the province of Caserta, in the region of Campania, in southern Italy.In the area several settlements of the Villanovan culture were present in pre-historical times, and these were probably enlarged by the Oscans and Etruscans.The survivors mostly fled and founded the modern Capua in the site of the ancient River port of Casilinum.The church had originally a single nave, but was enlarged by Lombard Prince Arechis II of Benevento in 787.Another renovation was carried out in 1666 by Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, with the addition of two further aisles; the current Late Baroque appearance dates to the 1742–88 works, during which the precious mosaic area of the apse was destroyed.
