Sarzana Cathedral, Minor basilica and co-cathedral in Sarzana, Italy.

The cathedral features white marble walls, a Gothic rose window, and a central nave divided by polygonal columns leading to side chapels.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1204 on the site of San Basilio church, with completion of the upper facade by Leonardo Riccomanni in 1474.

The cathedral contains the Cross of Maestro Guglielmo from 1138, which represents the oldest dated Tuscan crucifix with notable Romanesque painting techniques.

The cathedral stands in Piazza Niccolò V in central Sarzana, making it accessible for visitors exploring the religious landmarks of Liguria region.

The battlemented bell tower remains as the only preserved section of the ancient Pieve di San Basilio that preceded the current structure.
