★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Facade of Cathedral of St Pietro is mono color, huge and grand in appearance. Angelic forms in the pillars and arches are in good condition. This twelfth century creation was touched up and re-touched up in sixteenth and eighteenth century.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most beautiful cathedrals I've ever seen. It's impressive how luminous it is and, obviously, the painting decoration is outstanding.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The facade is late Baroque and the beautiful bell tower is Romanesque. The interior was restored by Giulio Romano: very beautiful coffered ceiling. the pipe organ and the frescoed dome. A beautiful church that is worth a visit

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are beautiful churches all over Italy, but this is one of my favorites. I could spend hours studying the dome.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My main reason for visiting Mantua was chiefly because Giuseppe Sarto was bishop here (1884-1893) before becoming Pope St Pius X, in 1903. Alas, I was disappointed, since his cathedral church only has a very simple altar in his honour. Never the less, the Cathedral is still worth visiting. The current building is of the 11th century (built after the previous building burnt down and excavations show that this was a Christian religious site dating back to the early christians). The numerous modifications it has undergone take away any preset stylistic unity. Very much a mixed bag of Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic. However it is still an imposing building with an enormous amount of frescos. You could spend hours just examining them all. Several members of the Gonzaga family are buried here. Other historical artefacts can be found, with a 4th century sarcophagus being the oldest. The Blessed Sacrament chapel (to the left of the main altar) is also very beautiful and very peaceful.
