Cattedrale di Ceneda

The Cathedral of Ceneda is a neoclassical place of worship in Vittorio Veneto with three naves separated by Ionic columns. The front features a grand facade with three entrance portals that lead visitors into the central sacred space.

Construction began in 1740 under architect Ottavio Scotti's design to replace an earlier Romanesque church destroyed in 1199. The new building marked a shift from medieval religious architecture to the neoclassical style of its era.

The cathedral displays important paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries created by artists like Jacopo da Valenza and Pomponio Amalteo. These works shape how visitors experience the interior and show the artistic directions of those eras.

The building stands on Piazza Giovanni Paolo I in the Ceneda district and is easy to reach on foot. Inside you will find a neo-Gothic crypt containing the remains of Saint Tiziano, which you can visit during your time there.

The bell tower was originally built as a defensive structure in 1261 and is one of the few surviving pieces of the ancient church. This distinctive tower tells the story of an era before the current neoclassical building was created.
