Cathedral of San Daniele del Friuli, Baroque cathedral in San Daniele del Friuli, Italy.

The Cathedral of San Daniele del Friuli is a Baroque religious building with three naves decorated with sacred artworks. Inside, you will find a baptismal font from the sixteenth century and a large organ.

The present church was rebuilt in stages during the 18th century. In 1703 the Venetian architect Domenico Rossi replaced the collapsing facade of the older church; in 1721 Luca Andrioli was commissioned to rebuild the presbytery, transept, sacristy and side chapels; in 1769 Carlo Corbellini's project for the central section was accepted. Consecration came only on 4 December 1806, after the works were finished.

The church is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel and belongs to the Archdiocese of Udine's Friuli Collinare deanery. Its white facade faces the square, and to its right stands the former town hall, now the Guarneriana Library. The sixteenth-century bell tower, begun in 1531 on a design by Giovanni da Udine, was never finished.

The cathedral faces the piazza in the centre of San Daniele del Friuli, with the old Palazzo del Comune, now the Guarneriana Library, on its right and the unfinished 16th-century bell tower beside it. The white 18th-century facade bears damage from the 1944 Allied bombing, the 1945 tank fire and the 1976 earthquake.

The sixteenth-century baptismal font stands in the left nave, not in a separate baptistery, and beside it hangs Il Pordenone's painting of the Holy Trinity, brought from the earlier church. Both survived the Allied bombing of autumn 1944 and the 1976 earthquake that damaged the building.
