The Cathedral/Church was built over the remains of an ancient Roman temple. The Duomo is at the top of Cortona, a steep way to go, but worth it. You can see nice remains of original frescoes, stained glass and nice door carvings, From the little piazza you can overlook the panorama of the beautiful Tuscany

Interesting remains of original frescoes. It is very quiet and charming, with its own peaceful little piazza, which overlooks a vast panorama of the Tuscan landscape.

Be prepared for an uphill walk but it is worth it. Beautiful craftmanship, serene,atmosphere, and history!!

There are so many Duomos and Cathedrals in Europe, it has to be exceptionally great to be impressed. On this trip I was impressed with the Duomo in Orvieto.

Cortona's Cathedral is breathtaking! Must see if you are in the area.

Duomo was old as espected, giving the nice touch of medieval place of worship. Ironically sad was that opposite of duomo was a museum of "Treasures of church", while in space between on street was beggars asking money for food....

Our friend's got married in Cortona's Cathedral earlier this year. Normally when travelling I wouldn't bother going inside Cathedral's/Churches but this one was absolutely lovely inside and worth a look if you are in Cortona. It is right at the end of a street which overlooks the valleys surrounding Cortona (which is very high up!) so offers great views.

Beautiful cathedral in the lovely little town of Cortona.

We fell in love with Cortona. There is so much to see, including some excellent artwork.
