The earthquake of 1980 had then led to the abandonment of the Rione Terra by the population, leaving the construction site at the mercy of looting.<\/p>\n\t<p>The project &#8211; entitled &#8220;In praise of the palimpsest&#8221; in the competition won in 2003 &#8211; set out to confirm the Temple&#8217;s historic function as a Cathedral: the single nave of the new Cathedral was set up in the cell and in the atrium of the Augustan Temple and confirmed the late Baroque liturgical spaces of the Presbytery (altar, bishop&#8217;s chair, ambo, choir), of the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament (baptistery), of the Chapter and of the Sacristy; the ancient pronaos has become the open-air entrance hall to the single nave of the new Cathedral, while the lateral intercolumns of the Temple have been closed off with high walls in structural glass; the ancient Sacristy, with a new central open staircase inside, has assumed the role of connection with the underlying paths of the Archaeological Museum.<\/p>\n\t<p>Particular attention was then dedicated to the design of the new bell tower, whose slender structure was covered by a canopy with a perforated cap which, in homage to the epochal landing in Pozzuoli by Paolo di Tarso, recalls the exact astronomical position of the starry sky on that auspicious day. The intervention from the Cathedral was extended to the arrangement of the surroundings and the activation of the underlying archaeological itinerary in the rooms of the Roman settlement, creating a widespread archaeological museum and a lapidary museum of the inscriptions found in the city.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/faraone-s3.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tempio_augusto.jpg\" alt=\"tempio_augusto\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"tempio_augusto\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Restauro &quot;
