Fidenza Cathedral
Duomo di Fidenza (Cattedrale di San Donnino)
A Romanesque cathedral on the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, its façade vividly and exquisitely carved by the Antelami workshop
This Romanesque cathedral, built in the 12th and 13th centuries, is dedicated to the martyr St. Donnino and lies on the Via Francigena, the medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. The façade was carved by the Antelami workshop, depicting pilgrims, prophets and scenes from the life of St. Donnino with lively, fine detail. The underground crypt holds the saint's relics, and beside it is a diocesan museum. Nearby is the Fidenza Village outlet mall. About 23 km from Parma, roughly 15 minutes by train.
