La Spezia Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in La Spezia, Italy
The La Spezia Cathedral stands on a hilltop with a circular structure and hyperboloid walls designed by architect Adalberto Libera.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1956 after a 25-year delay from the initial architectural competition, finally reaching completion in 1975.
The cathedral interior features twelve columns representing the Apostles and houses religious artifacts including an 18th-century wooden crucifix.
Natural light enters the cathedral through the central cupola, illuminating the white and grey marble floors that slope toward the altar.
The vaulted crypt contains the relics of San Venerio and holds tombs of the first bishops of the Diocese of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato.
