Co-Cathedral Basilica of St. Mauritius and Companions
Co-Cathedral Basilica of St. Mauritius and Companions, Minor basilica and co-cathedral in Porto Maurizio, Italy
The Co-Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mauritius is a neoclassical church with white stone walls and a large central dome that rises above Porto Maurizio. The interior features symmetrical columns, bright walls, and an ornate altar that receives light streaming down from the dome above.
Construction began in 1781 under architect Gaetano Cantoni and was completed with the official opening in 1838. The church was later elevated to co-cathedral status and has since served as a major religious center for the Imperia region.
The basilica is named after Saint Mauritius and his companions, with its white facade and copper dome shaping the religious identity of the town. On Sundays and feast days, worshippers gather in the pews for services and celebrations that mark the rhythm of Catholic life in the community.
The building is located at Piazza del Duomo in the Porto Maurizio quarter with direct access from the main square. It is easily reached on foot and has a wide entrance that opens directly to the public plaza.
The dome is clad in copper sheeting that has developed a green patina over the centuries, giving the structure a distinctive appearance. This weathering shows the building's long history and how the material has resisted the salt air of the Ligurian coast.
