Duomo di Livorno

The Duomo of Livorno is a Renaissance cathedral with a marble facade featuring three arches supported by Doric columns. Inside, a single nave is flanked by two chapels on each side.

Construction started in 1581 under architect Alessandro Pieroni as the city was being rebuilt and expanded. After severe damage during World War II, the building was fully restored by 1953.

The Eucharist Chapel displays a painting by Fra Angelico that shows the religious art traditions of the Renaissance period. Visitors can see works that reflect the spiritual meaning of this space.

The cathedral is located on the south side of Piazza Grande with its main entrance through a monumental door. The square itself is easy to reach and serves as a clear landmark in the city center.

The Mascioni organ from 1961 is a notable musical instrument that shapes the cathedral's acoustics. This instrument ranks among the most important of its kind in Italian churches and shows the craftsmanship of the post-war period.
