Alghero, IT
The Cathedral of Alghero dates back to the 16th century when in 1503 Pope Julius II promulgated a bull implementing a profound revision of the Sardinian dioceses, strongly desired by King Ferdinand II. Alghero, elevated to the rank of a city in 1501, did not have a temple large enough to serve as a cathedral at that time, and the bishops of the new diocese did not reside there until the 1530s when construction of the cathedral began. Its long period of construction resulted in a remarkable mixture of styles, although Catalan Gothic can be considered predominant.
