Fodor's Expert Review Museo Diocesano di Cosenza

Cosenza History Museum

Situated between the archbishop's palace and the Duomo, the museum contains paintings, silverware, vestments, and other precious objects collected by the archbishops of Cosenza over centuries. Look for the filigreed silver cup known as "the Pope," the 15th-century "Torquemada" chalice, and paintings by Luca Giordano, Andrea Vaccaro, and Giuseppe Pascaletti. The heart of the museum contains the emblem of Cosenza and the city's greatest treasure: a unique reliquary cross dating back to the 13th century.
