Santa Tecla, Este, Religious monument in Este, Italy
The Santa Tecla cathedral features an elliptical nave with a tall cupola, designed by Venetian architect Antonio Gaspari in a classical style.
The original church dates back to the 4th century, built upon the ruins of a pagan temple, and underwent complete reconstruction starting in 1690.
The cathedral houses notable artworks, including Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's altarpiece depicting Santa Tecla praying for the Liberation of Este from the Plague.
The cathedral stands in Piazza Santa Tecla, with its unfinished brick facade and bell tower visible from multiple points in the town center.
Inside the Chapel of the Holiest Sacrament, visitors find a marble sculptural group by Antonio Corradini featuring a veiled female figure representing Faith.
