Mondovi Cathedral
The current Mondovi Cathedral was built according to the plans of the architect Francesco Gallo between 1743 and 1753 and consecrated ten years later by Bishop Michele Casati. The first cathedral was the parish church of San Donato (12th century), which was replaced by a new Renaissance church at the beginning of the 16th century. The latter was demolished by order of Duke Emanuele Filiberto in 1574, then the church of San Francesco became the cathedral before giving way to the present cathedral.
