Piacenza Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Piacenza, Italy
The cathedral features a sandstone and pink Verona marble facade with three portals, topped by an octagonal dome and decorated with medieval sculptures.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1122 after the destruction of the previous church, with major works continuing until its completion in 1233.
The interior displays frescoes by renowned artists including Guercino and Morazzone, alongside medieval guild tiles and a 14th-century triptych by Serafino dei Serafini.
The cathedral opens its doors daily, offering guided tours through its art collection, while coin-operated lighting systems illuminate the apse and dome areas.
The cathedral's bell tower, completed in 1333, bears a golden copper angel statue weighing 104 kilograms that rotates with the wind direction.
