L'Aquila Cathedral Reconstruction
A drone view shows L'Aquila Cathedral building site on September 21st, 2024. Cathedral of Saints Maximus and George was severely damaged by the earthquake of April 6, 2009, which struck the city of L'Aquila and the surrounding areas. The cathedral is a religious and historical symbol for the city, dating back to the 13th century, although it has undergone numerous modifications over the centuries, particularly after the earthquakes of 1703 and 1915. Reconstruction work, which began in 2023, is expected to be completed in 2028 according to initial forecasts. The project is divided into two functional phases, aligned with the funding sources, and it will take five years before the Cathedral can be reopened. (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
