San Vicinio cathedral, Romanesque basilica in Sarsina, Italy

The cathedral displays a Latin cross layout with a central aisle twice the width of the side aisles, featuring a trussed ceiling design.

The cathedral's construction began in the tenth century, and it served as the primary seat for Bishops of Sarsina until 1986.

The Chapel of San Vicinio contains four votive canvases depicting the saint's miracles, painted by Michele Valbonesi in traditional Italian style.

The cathedral opens daily for religious services and houses the sacred chain of San Vicinio, used in healing blessings for visiting pilgrims.

The baptismal font exhibits carved goat heads at its corners, while a twelfth-century pulpit demonstrates Franco-German artistic influences.
