Cathedral of Montepulciano, Renaissance cathedral in Montepulciano, Italy.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta stands at the highest point of Montepulciano, featuring bands of stone blocks and sharp plaster surfaces throughout its interior.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1586 under architect Ippolito Scalza, utilizing the foundations of an ancient parish church and reaching completion in 1680.
The cathedral houses the monumental Assumption of the Virgin triptych from 1401 by Taddeo di Bartolo, positioned above the central altar of the church.
The cathedral opens its doors to visitors who reach the structure by ascending through the steep streets of Montepulciano's historical district.
The cathedral retains an unfinished 15th-century bell tower and displays nine fragments of Bartolomeo Aragazzi's funerary monument across its interior walls.
