The San Lorenzo Cathedral

The San Lorenzo Cathedral

Situated in the centre of the medieval city the San Lorenzo Cathedral is surrounded by buildings of great religious and civil value: the baptistery, the archbishop's palace, the San Lorenzo cloister and the ducal palace. The cathedral, in the past close, in between backstreets and tiny squares, was isolated during the nineteenth century with the creation of the Piazza Matteotti Square and Via San Lorenzo and the enlargement of the Piazza San Lorenzo.
