Pitigliano Cathedral

The Cathedral of Sovana dates back to the 8th and 9th centuries, and from that time until the 17th century it was subject to repeated structural interventions or decorative modernisation. Tradition has it that the Bishop of Palermo, Mamiliano, carried out evangelisation work in Sovana at the beginning of the 4th century. This early conversion to Christianity earned Sovana its appointment as an episcopal see in the 5th century.

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.
