San Cristoforo, Romanesque cathedral in Barga, Italy
The white marble cathedral features a square western wall with a fortress-like bell tower and intricate stone carvings on its main portal.
The construction began in the 11th century and evolved through modifications until the 16th century, incorporating both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.
The marble pulpit, created by Guido Bigarelli da Como in the 13th century, displays detailed biblical scenes including the Nativity and Annunciation.
The cathedral maintains three manually operated bells, each with distinct weights and musical notes, dating from different periods between 1580 and 1812.
A repeated inscription on the facade contains a prayer to Archangel Michael, matching similar text found at the Baptistry of Pisa Cathedral.
