Cortona Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Cortona, Italy
The cathedral features three sections with a central nave and two side aisles separated by columns based on Brunelleschi's architectural design.
Built over a Roman temple site, the cathedral received official status in 1507 when Pope Julius II transferred the bishop's seat to this location.
The cathedral houses numerous Renaissance artworks, including the notable Adoration of the Shepherds painting created by Pietro da Cortona in 1663.
The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours that cover both the main structure and the adjacent sixteenth-century bell tower.
The cathedral ceiling displays intricate nineteenth-century frescoes created by local artist Giovanni Brunacci, incorporating oval windows and a triumphal arch.
