Penne Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Penne, Italy
Penne Cathedral combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles across its stone and brick exterior, reflecting multiple building phases across different centuries. These design elements are visible throughout the structure's facades and interior spaces.
The cathedral's crypt was built in the 10th century above an ancient temple foundation from classical times. The later medieval and Renaissance additions rose upon this ancient base, creating the layered structure visible today.
The building functions as a co-cathedral for the Pescara-Penne archdiocese and remains a center for religious ceremonies within the local Catholic community. Sacred traditions developed over many centuries continue to shape how people gather here.
The main entrance faces west and the building maintains regular opening hours during morning and afternoon periods. Since the space is an active place of worship, visitors should move quietly and respect any ceremonies taking place.
Women from Penne became known for their hand-sewing skills while working at the renowned Brioni fashion house. This local craft tradition created a surprising connection between ordinary workers and the international fashion industry.
