The cathedral of Larino, or co-cathedral basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and San Pardo, is one of the most important works of art of the Romanesque style in southern Italy. The foundation of the church dates back to the thirteenth century, built on a pre-existing temple, on the entrance portal a plaque shows the date of its consecration, July 30, 1319. Towards the end of the eleventh century had already existed a church dedicated to the Holy Bishop of Larino, which was located in a district outside the town, as attested by an act of donation made (of 1081) by such Luffrido, Priest of Larino, in favor of the Monastery of San Giovanni in Venere. In this act were included some lands and small churches built near the church dedicated to it.
