The cathedral was built between the late 1500s and early 1600s under architect Giuseppe Guerra and replaced older churches that previously stood on the same site. The bell tower was added in the early 1900s by architect Vespignani, anchoring the structure in the town's landscape.
The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Gregory the Great and Saint Margaret and shapes the town's religious life today. It serves as a co-cathedral and remains an important gathering place where residents come to pray and celebrate their faith together.
The cathedral sits on the busy Piazza Ascanio Condivi in the town center where people gather and linger. It is easy to reach on foot and offers visitors a quiet space for prayer and viewing, open to the public throughout the day.
The cathedral houses a wooden organ built in 1783 by Venetian maker Gaetano Callido, originally made for a nearby Franciscan church. This historical instrument is still used today for church music and ceremonies, showing the craftsmanship traditions of the region.
