Faenza Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Faenza, Italy
The cathedral features a Latin cross layout with brick walls, alternating columns and pillars separating the central nave from side aisles.
Construction began in 1474 under architect Giuliano da Maiano, commissioned by Carlo II Manfredi, and reached completion in 1515 with dedication to Saint Peter.
The interior contains Renaissance sculptures, including the tombs of Saints Terence, Savinus, and Emilianus, along with a 15th-century Northern European wooden crucifix.
The cathedral opens to Piazza della Libertà, where visitors find information services and can observe the Portico degli Orefici and bronze fountains.
The brick façade remains incomplete, as the original plan to cover it with marble or stone was never executed.
