Duomo, Gothic Revival cathedral in Mortegliano, Italy.
The Duomo is a Gothic Revival cathedral in Mortegliano, a small town in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northern Italy. It has stained glass windows, several chapels, and religious motifs throughout its interior.
Construction started in 1864, designed by architect Andrea Scala, and continued in several phases until 1955. The bell tower was finished shortly after, completed in 1959.
The cathedral serves as the main place where residents gather for religious ceremonies and community events. It reflects the faith and identity of people in Mortegliano.
The cathedral stands in the center of Mortegliano and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of the town. When religious services are in progress, visitors are expected to dress modestly and move quietly.
The bell tower of the Duomo is tall enough to be seen from a considerable distance, becoming a reference point in the flat Friulian landscape. It was built after the main church was already finished, giving it an almost separate identity within the complex.
