G. Palmieri 1783-86).<\/p>\n<p>At one time it was possible to reach the Cathedral by steps which passed in front of the Bishop\u2019s palace parallel to the great wall. In 1953 it was debated whether to alter the steps, creating a connecting tunnel under Piazza Manzoni. It was decided for technical reasons to expand the balcony and build a new arch (beneath the 19<sup>th<\/sup> Century structure) to extend the front of the Bishop\u2019s Palace with access to the tunnel.<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-2'  data-version='5.12.82'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h4>Potrebbe interessarti...<\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relatedthumb yuzo-list  \" style=\"\"  >  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/en\/2016\/02\/05\/the-chapels-of-the-cathedral\/\" class=\"image-list\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap  ilen_shine \" style=\"width: 165px;height:130px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <span class='shine-effect'><\/span> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/cappella-cattedrale-300x200.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 170px;height:130px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size:  cover;  \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  class=\"link-list yuzo__text--title\" href=\"https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/en\/2016\/02\/05\/the-chapels-of-the-cathedral\/\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;;line-height:24px;\"> The Chapels of the Cathedral  <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"yuzo_text\" style=\"font-size:12px;\" >Walking down the right hand side of the nave you will first meet the Chapel of the Beams (Cappella delle Travi).
