Cattedrale di S. Maria Assunta

The first documented mention of the complex dates back to 969 when the ecclesia in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built.
In 1584, according to the description of a pastoral visit, the church must have taken on the structure that can still be seen today.
In 1606, following the collapse of the roof, it was reconstructed along with the covering, the apse, and the main altar.
It was during that century that the structure lost traces of its medieval layout. In the mid-1700s, architect Massari was commissioned for an interior redesign.
The cathedral presents itself with three naves and stone columns. Near the main altar, two angels by Giuseppe Bernardi can be appreciated; the baptismal font dated 1491 bears the coat of arms of Queen Cornaro, who commissioned it to architect Francesco Graziolo. There are also two important altarpieces by Lorenzo Lotto and Jacopo Da Ponte.
The external façade is the result of an intervention completed in 1889 based on a project by Pietro Saccardo, which juxtaposed the visible walling to the old façade.
