Cattedrale di San Giuseppe
San Giuseppe is not the largest church in Vasto, nor is it the oldest or the most beloved. Nevertheless, it is the cathedral of the city. It is the oldest parish in the city, but it became so only because, in the early 19th century, the conflict between the two historic churches of San Pietro […]
