The Early Christian basilica of Saint Vigilius was built outside the city walls presumably around the end of the fourth century. The structure’s original purpose was as a burial place for the missionaries in Anaunia Sisinius, Martyrius, and Alexander, murdered in the Val di Non by pagans on 29 May 397. Alongside the martyrs Vigilius, the third bishop and the patron saint of Trent was also buried.

Built during the 13th century in the Romanesque style, it features some Gothic additions such as the large rose window on the facade and a few features in the interior. Particularly interesting is the baldachin of the main altar built in the 18th century in the Baroque style. Unfortunately, the interior of the Cathedral was being refurbished and the whole left nave was covered in scaffolding. I decided to visit the small archaeological site below the main nave and whose entry ticket was combined with the diocesan museum; this is the site where the early Christian Basilica of St Vigilius used to stand before the present Cathedral was built. The Basilica was built during the 4th century and features mosaics, many old tombs, and a larger room which then served as crypt to the Cathedral.
