Montefiascone Cathedral, Renaissance-Baroque cathedral in Montefiascone, Italy
The cathedral consists of a lower church and an upper church, with a massive dome measuring 27 meters in diameter constructed by Carlo Fontana.
Originally established as an episcopal seat in 1396 by Pope Urban V, the cathedral underwent reconstruction phases during the 15th and 16th centuries under Michele Sanmicheli.
The interior preserves marble statues, relics of Saint Margaret of Antioch, Saint Lucia Filippini, and houses the tomb of Cardinal Marco Antonio Barbarigo.
The cathedral stands at Piazzale Santa Margherita in Montefiascone, with its dome visible from multiple locations throughout the Viterbo province.
The 1670 Good Friday fire led to substantial renovations, resulting in Carlo Fontana's redesign of the dome structure to match contemporary architectural preferences.
