Como Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Como, Italy.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta features a Latin cross layout with three naves, measuring 87 meters in length and reaching 75 meters at its dome.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1396, replacing an earlier Romanesque church, and continued through different architectural periods until completion in 1770 with Juvarra's dome.

The cathedral houses nine significant tapestries from the 16th century, created in Ferrara, Florence, and Brussels, along with paintings by Bernardino Luini and Gaudenzio Ferrari.

The cathedral opens daily for visitors in the center of Como's walled city, with guided tours offering detailed information about its architecture and historical elements.

The west facade displays statues of Como natives Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, now protected under glass cases due to environmental factors.
