Duomo, Romanesque cathedral in Gemona del Friuli, Italy

The Duomo of Gemona del Friuli features three rose windows on its facade, with the central one crafted in Venice between 1334 and 1336.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1290 under architect Giovanni Griglio da Gemona, leading to its consecration by Bishop Giovanni of Parenzo in 1337.

The cathedral houses a wooden altarpiece by Andrea Moranzone depicting 33 episodes from the Old and New Testaments through detailed carved scenes.

A tall defensive wall stands between the cathedral and Mount Glemine, protecting the structure from potential landslides while reinforcing city defenses.

The bell tower contains four bells made in 1920 by the Pontifical Foundry Daciano Colbachini after the original ones were melted for cannons during World War I.
