Belluno Cathedral

It was elevated to the status of a minor basilica on 18 June 1980 by Pope John Paul II.

The present building was built between 1517 and 1624, to plans by the architect Tullio Lombardo, in the style of the Renaissance.

The interior of the cathedral, majestic in appearance, has Renaissance lines even if the height of the pilasters tends more to the Gothic.

Among the works by distinguished artists kept in the cathedral, two paintings by Gaspare Diziani stand out for the complexity of their composition: Saints Charles Borromeo, Francis de Sales, Cajetan and Andrew Avellino and the Conversion of St Paul.

An altar in the northern nave is decorated by a painting by Egidio Dall'Oglio depicting the Holy Family.
