Duomo di Castelnuovo di Garfagnana

The cathedral features three naves separated by stone columns and displays a Renaissance facade with three portals divided by four pilasters supporting a simple pediment.

Built in the 10th century, the cathedral underwent reconstruction in the 16th century, retaining only fragments of its original Romanesque structure on the left side.

The cathedral preserves a 15th-century wooden crucifix known as the Black Christ, which survived a fire in 1977 and remains a symbol of local faith.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors to view its collection of Renaissance and Baroque artworks throughout the day.

The interior houses a glazed terracotta altarpiece of Saint Joseph from Andrea della Robbia's workshop and a marble frame containing a Pentecost from Civitali's studio.
