Italian term or phrase: fece erigere; una miscela d'arte affascinante
L'arcivescovo G.O. fece erigere la Cattedrale che, nel corso dei secoli, fu modificata e trasformata dalle popolazioni dominanti. Musulmani, normanni e aragonesi dettero la loro impronta e il loro stile, in una miscela d'arte affascinante.
