Pistoia Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Pistoia, Italy
The cathedral features a three-nave interior with raised presbytery, crypt, and marble statues of Saints Zeno and James atop the facade's pinnacle points.
The first written record of the cathedral dates to 923, with subsequent reconstructions in the 12th century following fires in 1108 and 1202.
The Silver Altar, created between 1287 and the 15th century, represents the finest example of Italian Gothic goldsmith craftsmanship in the Chapel of San Jacopo.
The cathedral offers audio guides in five languages for exploring both the main building and the Silver Altar during 45-minute guided visits.
The cathedral houses a relic of Apostle James the Greater, which arrived from Santiago de Compostela in 1145, stored in a reliquary by Lorenzo Ghiberti.
