Duomo vecchio, Romanesque co-cathedral in Piazza del Duomo, Brescia, Italy
The Duomo Vecchio features a circular architecture with a large central dome, thick stone walls, and multiple chapels arranged around its perimeter.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1101 on the site of a previous basilica, incorporating elements from ancient Roman structures found beneath its foundation.
The cathedral contains significant artworks including red marble sarcophagi, medieval frescoes, and religious paintings by Francesco Maffei and Moretto da Brescia.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors, with special access to the Treasure of the Holy Crosses collection granted on the last Friday of March and September 14th.
The circular design of this Romanesque cathedral became rare after the Council of Trent, making it one of few remaining round churches in Italy.
