Cathedral of St. Donatus, Gothic cathedral in Pinerolo, Italy

The Cathedral of St. Donatus stands in the center of Pinerolo with a bell tower built in 1420 and crowned with crenellations in 1543.

The cathedral's origins trace back to 1024 when Bishop Landolfo of Turin established a college of canons, indicating the presence of an earlier church.

The interior of the cathedral contains paintings from 1887 by Giuseppe Rollini and Alessandro Vacca depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament.

The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Pinerolo and maintains regular religious services according to Roman Catholic traditions.

The cathedral houses a transparent crystal plate in its floor, revealing the bishops' crypt constructed beneath the Chapel of the Magi in 1963.
