Duomo di San Cassiano, Minor basilica in Comacchio, Italy
Duomo di San Cassiano is a baroque church in Comacchio with twelve chapels decorated with paintings and featuring a marble altar in its center. The facade shows a brick wall with Istrian stone elements that give the building its distinctive look.
Construction began in 1659 under Bishop Sigismondo Isei and replaced an older Romanesque cathedral that stood on the same site. The building was gradually completed over the 17th and 18th centuries and took on its final baroque appearance.
The interior displays works by local artists and carved religious pieces that show the artistic heritage of the town. These pieces tell the story of the craftsmanship tradition that has been kept alive in Comacchio for many generations.
The church is easy to find in town and can be visited from inside to see the chapels and artworks. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so quiet behavior and appropriate clothing are important.
The bell tower collapsed in 1757 during its final construction phase and was replaced by a shorter one completed in 1868. This unexpected event in the building's history shows how drawn out the construction process for this structure really was.
