Pitigliano Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Pitigliano, Italy.
Pitigliano Cathedral is a Baroque building featuring four substantial pilasters on its facade, with travertine-framed entrances. The main portal is adorned with 18th-century stucco decorations showing cherubs that support a central cross above.
The building started as a parish church documented back to the 1000s and became a cathedral in 1844. This change happened when Pitigliano became the official home of the Bishop of Sovana.
Inside you can see paintings by Pietro Aldi from the 1800s depicting religious scenes and regional history. These works shape how the interior feels and what catches your eye as you move through the space.
You can find it on Via Giovanni XXIII 12 in the town center of Pitigliano. The building is easy to reach on foot and serves as the main church of the Diocese.
The bell tower started as a military watchtower with two levels, then received a third level later for church use during the Medici era. This conversion from military to religious purpose is visible in how the tower was expanded.
