Alba Cathedral

The San Lorenzo Cathedral features terracotta walls, a central rose window, and statues of evangelists on its nineteenth-century renovated facade.

The first structure on this location dates to the fifth century, with the current building constructed in the twelfth century following Romanesque principles.

The cathedral's interior displays wooden choir stalls from 1512, decorated with Renaissance marquetry and carved plant designs across thirty-five seats.

The cathedral stands in Piazza del Risorgimento, also known as Piazza Duomo, and functions as the episcopal seat of Alba Diocese.

Archaeological excavations in 2007 revealed an ancient baptismal font and approximately one hundred graves, primarily containing remains of children.
