Duomo di Pienza, Renaissance co-cathedral in Pienza, Italy.
The church features a travertine facade with three entrance doors, a central rose window, and the Piccolomini coat of arms on the pediment.
Pope Pius II commissioned architect Bernardo Rossellino to build this cathedral between 1459 and 1462 on the site of a former Romanesque parish.
The interior contains paintings by prominent Sienese artists including Giovanni di Paolo, Matteo di Giovanni, and Lorenzo di Pietro, known as Vecchietta.
The cathedral stands at Piazza Pio II in Pienza, with its apse section extending over the hillside slopes due to spatial constraints.
The building combines Italian Renaissance architecture with German hall church design, featuring three naves of equal height following the Hallenkirche model.
