Mantua Cathedral (Duomo)
Duomo di Mantova
The cathedral at the north end of Piazza Sordello, where a Baroque façade hides a classical interior redesigned by Giulio Romano.
Mantua Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Peter, and its history dates back to the Middle Ages. A Gothic gable is preserved on the side, and the front façade is made of marble from the 18th century. The interior was redesigned by Giulio Romano in the 16th century, with classical Roman columns and a gilded coffered ceiling, creating a dignified and bright space. Admission is free, and it can be visited together with the Palazzo Ducale and Piazza Sordello.
