Cesena Cathedral, Cathedral and minor basilica in Cesena, Italy

The cathedral features a Renaissance facade with a bell tower constructed between 1443 and 1457 under the designs of architect Maso di Pietro.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1385 with funding from Andrea Malatesta, following authorization from Pope Urban VI through a papal bull in 1378.

The Cathedral houses the remains of Saint Maurus of Cesena within the Altar of Saint John, crafted by sculptor Giovanni Battista Bregno between 1494 and 1505.

The Cathedral stands in Piazza Pia, serving as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Cesena-Sarsina and maintains regular religious services for its 159,700 Catholic followers.

The Cappella della Madonna del Popolo contains frescoes created by Corrado Giaquinto in 1750 and a painting crowned by Pope Pius VI in 1782.
