Cathedral of Arezzo

The church of Santa Maria della Pieve is first mentioned in 1008, but the present church was not begun until the 12th century. The high bell tower was finished in 1330, and during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries the church was modified inside with stuccoes and decorations in Baroque style. In the 19th century, restoration work eliminated all Baroque additions in order to restore the church to its original Romanesque appearance.

The cathedral of Cortona was built on the ruins of a pagan temple and mentioned as a church in the 11th century. The building was chosen as a cathedral when the diocese of Cortona was created in 1325. The façade bears the traces of interventions that took place at different times. The oldest remains, in Romanesque style, are a pillar with a capital and small columns at the corners and part of a large arch; their location bears witness to the lowering of the floor of the old parish church, which was raised when the square was paved. The long, narrow window and a marble plaque with a 14th-century coat of arms also date from the medieval period. For the rest, the east facade dates from the 15th century.

The church of Sant'Agostino has existed as the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta since 1203. The church changed its name to Sant'Agostino in 1555, when the Augustinian friars moved there and built the convent between 1580 and the beginning of the 17th century. The present appearance of the church is the result of renovations carried out between 1771 and 1785 on a project by architect Vincenzo Righi of Camerino. The façade has a beautiful 16th century stone portal with pillars decorated with candelabras. The only remaining element of the ancient 13th-century parish church is the Romanesque bell tower, the result of the adaptation of a medieval tower.
