Ales Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Ales, Italy
The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul exhibits a rectangular shape with large stone blocks and barrel vaults covering both the nave and apse.
The first construction phase began in 1634, followed by major renovations in 1687 under architect Domenico Spotorno's supervision until completion in 1708.
The cathedral houses a diocesan museum containing religious artifacts and serves as the main church for the Diocese of Ales-Terralba in Sardinia.
Located at coordinates 39.768611, 8.816111, the cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and opens its doors for both religious services and tourist visits.
One of the cathedral's planned twin towers collapsed on April 29, 1683, causing substantial damage to the existing structure and altering construction plans.
