Duomo, Cathedral and minor basilica in Città di Castello, Italy
The Duomo is a cathedral and minor basilica featuring a Renaissance interior with a Latin cross plan and coffered ceiling. The massive cylindrical bell tower dates to the 13th century and defines the plaza's silhouette.
The church's origins trace to the 7th century when it was built on the site of a Roman temple. Multiple earthquakes and invasions required significant reconstructions that eventually shaped its current Renaissance form.
The cathedral displays artworks by local and Florentine artists distributed throughout its side chapels. These pieces reflect the artistic connections the city maintained during the Renaissance.
The cathedral is located in Piazza Gabriotti at the city center and is open during regular visiting hours. Visitors should wear appropriate attire and be prepared for a compact interior space.
The 15th-century crypt contains a Black Madonna with distinctive visual treatment venerated by local believers. The relics of patron saints are also preserved there and regularly draw pilgrims.
