Pontremoli Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Pontremoli, Italy
Pontremoli Cathedral is a church with a large central nave and smaller side chapels, topped by a tall dome at its heart. This dome rises above the crossing and shapes the interior with its height and structural presence.
Construction began in 1636 under architect Alessandro Capra and replaced earlier religious structures on the site. Work finished in 1687, marking the end of a building campaign that spanned several decades.
The interior displays many paintings featuring Mary as the main subject, created by artists from Tuscany and the Emilia region. These works shape how the space feels today and show the connection between this area and its artistic traditions.
You can explore the interior at a relaxed pace to take in the architecture and decorations. Morning light works best for seeing the details, as sunlight streams through the windows.
The building holds a 13th-century religious image showing Mary as a Black Madonna, venerated by the faithful over many centuries. This artwork connects medieval artistic traditions with local devotion and shows how long this place has held spiritual meaning.
