Thirteenth-century pulpit on six lions in the eleventh-century cathedral of Sessa Aurunca, where Pope Leo IX is venerated

Marble pulpit with mosaic ornament on columns and lion figures inside a cathedral, with a twisted column and a spiral staircase beside it.

A 13th-century ambo on six lions in an 11th-century cathedral. It is curious that in this town, Sessa Aurunca, Pope Leo IX is venerated; it was three months after his death that the Schism of 1054 occurred.
