Dome of Castlefranco Veneto

The cathedral exhibits Doric order elements throughout its structure, with symmetrical proportions and classical architectural features defining its exterior and interior spaces.

Francesco Maria Preti designed this religious building in 1745, marking his first major architectural project after completing studies at the University of Brescia.

The cathedral houses the celebrated Castelfranco Madonna altarpiece by Renaissance painter Giorgione, attracting art enthusiasts from around the world.

Visitors can access the cathedral daily between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.

The building's mathematical design principles influenced Thomas Jefferson's architectural plans for Monticello and modifications to the White House in America.
