Trento Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Trento, Italy

The Cathedral of San Vigilio features three naves, a large rose window, and a portal supported by stone lions on its northern flank.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1201 under architect Adamo d'Arogno, commissioned by Prince-Bishop Federico Vanga to create a religious center for Trento.

The cathedral holds numerous artistic treasures, including 14th-century frescoes, Renaissance paintings, and Baroque artworks that span from early Christian times to the 19th century.

Visitors can access the 70-meter bell tower during daytime hours to see panoramic views of Trento and the surrounding mountains of Trentino.

The cathedral hosted multiple sessions of the Council of Trent between 1545 and 1563, marking significant changes in Catholic Church doctrine.
