Duomo Nuovo, Cathedral in Piazza Paolo VI, Brescia, Italy
The cathedral features a Greek cross layout with three naves, adorned with Corinthian columns and a massive copper-covered dome reaching 80 meters in height.
Construction began in 1604 under architect Giovanni Battista Lantana on the site of an earlier church, with completion delayed until 1825 due to financial constraints.
The cathedral contains significant artworks including paintings by Romanino and Palma the Young, plus a bronze monument dedicated to Pope Paul VI from 1984.
The cathedral stands adjacent to Duomo Vecchio in Piazza Paolo VI, with the main entrance facing the square through three monumental marble portals.
The dome of this cathedral ranks as the third largest in Italy, following Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome and Florence Cathedral.
