Prato Cathedral, Minor basilica in Prato, Italy

The cathedral features a facade made of alternating white and green marble stripes, with a bell tower rising to the northern side.

Founded in 901, the cathedral underwent expansions in the 15th century, transforming from a small parish church into a Gothic-Romanesque structure.

The cathedral holds the Sacra Cintola, a religious relic believed to be the belt of the Virgin Mary, stored in a dedicated chapel with frescoes.

The Cathedral Museum displays sacred art collections, archaeological findings, and architectural elements across six dedicated exhibition rooms.

The external pulpit, created by Michelozzo and decorated by Donatello, stands on the corner of the facade for public ceremonies.
