Perched atop Trento, the remnants of an Early Christian Church on the Doss Trento promise a peek into the city's divergent Christian roots. Originated in honor of Saints Cosmas and Damian, this complex, comprising two parallel yet separate aules, leaves much to the imagination; was it a monument, a cathedral, or a sanctuary for rival Christian denominations? One Italian archaeologist and historian, Giuseppe Gerola, posits a tantalizing theory: it might have been the first cathedral of Trento, casting a fascinating air of mystery over this ancient relic.
