{{main|Anagni Cathedral}}
The Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Mary, was built in [[romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] style during the years 1071&ndash;1105, with [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]]-style additions in the mid-13th century. The crypt contains the tombs of St [[Magnus of Anagni]], the patron of the city, and of St [[Secundina of Anagni]]. The frescoes covering all the walls and ceiling are among the best preserved examples of [[Romanesque art|Romanesque]]/[[Byzantine art]] in Italy, and form a single [[iconography|iconographic]] scheme, which includes [[natural philosophy]], saints, the [[Book of Revelation|Apocalypse]], and the [[Old Testament]] [[Ark of the Covenant]].<ref>J. Ainaud, ''Romanesque Painting''. (London, 1963) p. 10 & Plates 23–27</ref> The unrestored [[Cosmati]] floor is in excellent condition.

On the same level as the crypt is the Oratory of [[Thomas Becket|Saint Thomas]] (Becket), with less well preserved frescoes.  The museum possesses a [[Becket Casket|Becket reliquary]] [[Chasse (casket)|chasse]] (one of around four dozen still around) and what is claimed to be a Becket miter.  The western wall has a contemporary statue of [[Pope Boniface VIII]] looking out over the Piazza Innocenzo III.
