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.

Cathedral of Vicenza

The Cathedral of Vicenza is of early Christian origin but has been rebuilt several times, the last time from 1444. The dome and the north side portal, designed by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of a list of several buildings in the Veneto region. During the Second World War, the cathedral was badly hit by Allied bombardments, which destroyed the dome, a large part of the nave and severely damaged the façade and the southern chapels. The frescoes that covered the interior were irretrievably lost. Reconstruction and restoration work began immediately after the conflict but continued until 2002.

Basilica of Santi Felice e Fortunato

The Basilica of Santi Felice e Fortunato was founded in the 4th and 5th centuries, but the present Romanesque church is a 12th-century construction, restored to its original state by a 20th-century restoration that removed the Baroque additions. For more than a thousand years, the Abbey of San Felice was annexed to the basilica.
