Cathedral of San Lorenzo Martire, Catholic cathedral in Tivoli, Italy.
The Cathedral of San Lorenzo Martire is a Baroque-style church in Tivoli featuring a single main nave flanked by lateral chapels. The facade displays three arches over the portico and stands beside an impressive Romanesque bell tower.
The original structure dates to the 5th century, constructed over ancient Roman ruins. Cardinal Giulio Roma oversaw its transformation into the Baroque style during the 17th century.
The cathedral's name honors Saint Lawrence, whose veneration runs deep within the local community. Visitors and worshippers experience the interior as a sacred space where religious traditions are expressed through its architectural design and artistic elements.
The building sits at Piazza del Duomo in central Tivoli with free admission. The bell tower serves as a helpful landmark visible from different points around the city when navigating the area.
Inside are rare artworks including a 12th-century triptych and a 13th-century wooden relief carving. Frescoes by Angelo De Angelis from the early 1800s depict Saint Lawrence alongside other local holy figures in detailed execution.
