Castelfranco Veneto Cathedral
The present Cathedral of Castelfranco Veneto dates back to the 18th century and was built to a design by Francesco Maria Preti, who was inspired by the forms of the Basilica del Redentore in Venice. In order to build it, it was necessary to demolish the old church of Santa Maria Assunta, a Romanesque monument that housed the original Costanzo Chapel, for which Giorgione's altarpiece was designed in the 16th century. The present façade was built in 1892-1893, designed by Pio Finazzi.
