Cremona Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Cremona, Italy.
The cathedral features a marble facade combining white Carrara and red Verona stones, with a central rose window and statues of saints under the portico.
Construction began in 1107, but an earthquake in 1117 caused severe damage, leading to rebuilding efforts that continued until its consecration in 1190.
The central nave contains a series of frescoes depicting the lives of Virgin Mary and Christ, painted by Renaissance master Boccaccio Boccaccino from Ferrara.
The cathedral opens daily to visitors who can explore the three naves, Gothic vaults, semicircular apse, and the underground crypt containing religious artifacts.
The cathedral preserves the Sacra Spina, a thorn believed to be from Jesus's crown, donated by Cremona-born Pope Gregory XIV in 1591.
