Duomo di Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Renaissance cathedral in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy.
The Duomo di Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is a parish church built with three naves separated by stone columns in a Renaissance style. Its front elevation features three doorways framed by four vertical pillars topped with a simple triangular gable.
The church was founded in the 10th century and underwent major reconstruction during the 16th century. Fragments of its original Romanesque structure remain visible on the left side of the building.
The cathedral holds a 15th-century wooden crucifix that remains meaningful to people in the community as a representation of their faith. This sculpture shapes how visitors experience the interior and reflects the religious devotion that has been central to this place for centuries.
Entry is free and the building is open most days, though hours may change for religious services and holidays. Visiting outside of Mass times and special celebrations allows you to view the artworks without interruption.
A glazed terracotta altarpiece by Andrea della Robbia stands inside with bright, vibrant colors. The building also holds a marble-framed altarpiece showing the Pentecost that came from the workshop of Civitali.
