Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Palmanova, Italy

The cathedral features a facade constructed of Istrian stone with niches containing statues of Saint Justina of Padua and Saint Mark at the entrance.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1603 under Venetian rule, reaching completion in 1636, but consecration occurred only in 1777 after joining the Udine Archbishopric.

The cathedral, dedicated as Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore, stands at the center of Piazza Grande, marking the spiritual center of the star-shaped fortress city.

Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance facing Piazza Grande, with the structure remaining open for religious services and architectural tours.

The bell tower was intentionally constructed at a lower height to prevent enemy forces from using it as a reference point during potential attacks on the fortress.
