According to tradition, the Romanesque church was built on the ruins of a former pagan temple and was consecrated three times during its long existence, first to San Lorenzo and then later to the patron saints of the city, Florido and Amanzio.<\/p>\n<p>The building in its current form is the result of successive modifications. The first were carried out in 1356, then further renovations were made between the 15<sup>th<\/sup> and the 16<sup>th<\/sup> centuries under the direction of <em>Elia di Bartolomeo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The facade, which was left unfinished, dates back to between 1632 &#8211; 1646 and was designed by <em>Francesco Lazzari<\/em>. The Cathedral still preserves traces of its ancient origins: the cylindrical bell tower, in the Ravenna style, dating back to Roman times, and the left portal, decorated with twisted columns can be dated back to the Gothic period.<\/p>\n<p>The imposing entrance stairway is more recent, attributable to the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>The structure is based on the Latin cross plan, with a single nave and side chapels that contain some noteworthy works of art: the chapel of S. Paolo displays \u201c<em>La caduta del Santo sulla via di<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Damasco<\/em>\u201d (The fall of the Saint on the road to Damascus), painted by <em>Niccol\u00f2 Circignani<\/em>, otherwise known as <em>Pomarancio<\/em>, at the end of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century, and the \u201c<em>Transfigurazione\u201d <\/em>(Transfiguration) by <em>Rosso Fiorentino<\/em> (1530).<\/p>\n<p>The presbytery is decorated with a beautiful, inlaid wooden choir carved in the mid-16<sup>th<\/sup> century. A visit to the Cathedral should be rounded off with a viewing of the crypt below, the \u2018Duomo Inferiore\u2019, which is accessible through a side staircase, where an ancient stone sarcophagus still holds the relics of the Cathedral\u2019s patron saints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u2018duomo\u2019 or cathedral of Citt\u00e0 di Castello has stood in Piazza Gabriotti, in the city centre, since the 11th century.
