Natività di Maria, Cathedral in Portoferraio, Italy
The cathedral features a rectangular layout with three naves, six vertical pilasters, and two marble statues representing Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Sebastian Martyr on its facade.
The cathedral construction began in 1549 during the urban development ordered by Cosimo I de Medici, who established Portoferraio as a fortified maritime settlement.
The eighteenth-century altar houses the Madonna del Bon Voyage, representing the maritime traditions of Portoferraio through a silver votive spacecraft presented by an angel.
The cathedral stands in the historic center beyond Porta a Mare, adjacent to the ancient piazza d'Arme, with its entrance accessible through a central door flanked by two lateral entrances.
The structure combines architectural elements from the Cosimian period with subsequent Baroque modifications, featuring a rose window with phytomorphic decorations on its main facade.
