English Gothic architecture Exeter Cathedral is built in this style, as is the crossing of Ely Cathedral, (including the famous octagonal lantern, built between 1322 and 1328 to replace the fallen central tower), three west bays of the choir and the Lady Chapel. In Scotland, Melrose Abbey was a noteworthy example, though much of it is now in ruins. The Perpendicular Gothic period (or simply Perpendicular) is the third historical division of English Gothic architecture, and is so-called because it is characterised by an emphasis on vertical lines. An alternative name, the Rectilinear, was suggested by Edmund Sharpe, and is preferred by some
Aversa Cathedral sculptures of its date. An outstanding collection of Baroque liturgical silver is kept in the treasury. Aversa Cathedral Aversa Cathedral (, "Cattedrale di San Paolo") is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Aversa in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. It has been the seat of the Bishop of Aversa from the bishopric's foundation in 1053. The Romanesque cathedral, dedicated to Saint Paul, has a spectacular ambulatory and an octagonal dome. Francesco Solimena's "Madonna of the Gonfalone" is kept here; the "Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" by the Quattrocento painter Angiolillo Arcuccio, now in the seminary, was here formerly.
