Cathedral of Saint Peter and Saint Mark, Neoclassical cathedral in Alessandria, Italy.
The Cathedral of Saint Peter and Saint Mark is a neoclassical building on Piazza del Duomo featuring symmetrical facades and a prominent dome. The interior displays classical proportions and refined detailing that defines the appearance and structure of this religious building.
The original cathedral was demolished in 1803 on Napoleon Bonaparte's orders and entirely rebuilt afterward. The current building was constructed between 1807 and 1810 in neoclassical style.
The cathedral serves as the spiritual center of the diocese and is actively used by the local community for worship and religious celebrations. It shapes the appearance of the central square and remains an important landmark in the daily life of residents.
Access is through the main entrance on Piazza del Duomo, which is centrally located in the city. The building is easily reachable on foot and the surroundings offer clear orientation.
A major fire in 1925 destroyed much of the interior and led to extensive renovations. The furnishings and decorative elements visible today are largely the result of this post-fire restoration.
