Reggio Emilia Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Reggio Emilia, Italy

The cathedral features a Renaissance facade with pilasters and niches displaying statues of four patron saints of the city.

Construction of the cathedral began in 857, with significant modifications made during the 15th century to align with contemporary architectural styles.

The main portal presents sculptures of Adam and Eve by Prospero Spani, reflecting influences from Michelangelo's artistic techniques.

The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and houses the Museo Diocesano, which displays ancient mosaics and medieval religious artifacts.

A Roman mosaic floor from the 4th century AD was discovered beneath the cathedral in 2009, depicting scenes of pagan rites.
