It is a building particularly characterized by the Venetian Gothic style, which is located in Duomo Square. Built in the thirteenth century, on the site of a pre-existing early Christian church of the fifth century, of which important ruins are preserved below the current pavement.
The Gothic facade of the sixteenth century, is attributed to Domenico da Venezia, is divided into four parts, the first is characterized by the five large deep arches, the second made from scores of pilasters, that is, with a light architectural order placed next to the wall, the third practically all flat and the fourth adorned with five beautiful statues and two small pinnacles added.
Thanks to the Venetian Republic and to Bishop Zeno, in 1558, the dome of the cathedral was built, and in 1563 the side portal by the great architect Andrea Palladio.
The Gothic interior was rebuilt after the last conflict with a single nave, characterized by very low cross vaults, in relation to the width of the side chapels. Going up the staircase you enter the magnificent presbytery, which preserves 29 palettes with the Dormitio Virginis and figures of the saints of Venetian Lorenzo of 1366.
In the center we find the high altar, made with precious stones and marbles, by Giovanni di Giacomo from Porlezza and Girolamo Pittoni from Lumignano.
