Cathedral of St. Just, Romanesque cathedral in Susa, Italy.

The Cathedral of St. Just features three aisles following a Latin cross plan, with a campanile displaying six levels of mullioned windows.

Originally built as a Benedictine Abbey in 1029 by Marchese Olderico Manfredi, the building transformed into a cathedral when the Diocese of Susa formed in 1772.

The cathedral preserves ancient religious artifacts, including a baptistry predating the current structure and stuccos depicting animals in the 11th-century crypt.

The cathedral stands at Piazza San Giusto in Susa, Piedmont, northern Italy, near the French border and accessible through regional train connections.

The facade incorporates terracotta decorations connected to a fourth-century Roman gate known as Porta Savoia, displaying the integration of ancient elements.
