Como Cathedral

The cathedral, located near Lake Como, is one of the most important buildings in the region.

The construction works, started under the supervision of Lorenzo degli Spazzi di Laino, did not finish until 1770 with the completion of the Rococo cupola by Filippo Juvarra.

[2] The imposing west front was built between 1457 and 1498 and features a rose window and a portal between two statues of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, natives of Como.

It has a Latin cross floor plan with a central nave and two side aisles, separated by pillars, and a Renaissance transept, with an imposing cupola over the crossing.

The interior has a series of nine important tapestries, woven at the end of the 16th century, in Ferrara, Florence and Brussels.
