Cathedral Of Saint Mary Of The Assumption

Perché la gente del luogo lo consiglia
A radical interpretation of church architecture, this 1971 building achieves what most good cathedrals do: surprise and awe inside. Travertine stone lends a classical Italian grandeur to the exterior, while on the inside, the medieval tradition of stained-glass windows shows up in an unusual form, as an equilateral cross hovering above. The building was designed by a pair of Italians—engineer Pier Luigi Nervi and architect Pietro Belluschi—and takes inspiration from the Italian futurists of the early 20th century.

Walk the labyrinth at Great Cathedral. This meditative exercise is meant to bring about relaxation and self-awareness. The labyrinth is a replica of the one at Chartres Cathedral in France.
