Sovana Cathedral

The Cathedral of Pitigliano was first mentioned in 1276 as the parish church of San Pietro. It became a collegiate church and was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. It was renovated several times, including in 1509 by Niccolò III Orsini, Count of Pitigliano, and during the 18th century. When the Bishop of Sovana came to settle permanently in Pitigliano, the former collegiate church became a cathedral in 1845.

Acquapendente Cathedral is a 10th century Romanesque basilica and historically belongs to the Benedictine order. It is dedicated to the Holy Sepulchre because it preserves a blood-stained stone which, according to tradition, comes from the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In medieval times, the basilica was frequented by pilgrims and crusaders, being situated on the Via Francigena towards Rome. It became a cathedral in 1649 and has undergone many embellishments over the centuries. The façade of the building is the result of restoration works promoted in 1746 by Pope Benedict XIV.

Montefiascone Cathedral was built when Pope Urban V instituted the Diocese of Montefiascone (14th century). The construction of the dome took place from 1670 following a terrible fire on the night of Good Friday which destroyed the roof of the cathedral and part of its interior. The dome, with a diameter of 27 metres, is one of the largest in Italy.
