The Church of Santa Giustina or Duomo Vecchio is the most representative religious monument of the city, built in 1256 in late Romanesque style, with Gothic decorative elements.

Strictly known as the "Antica Pieve di S. Giustina," this church is commonly called the "Duomo Vecchio," as it served as Monselice's cathedral until the new one was built in the mid-20th century.

It dates back to 1256, built in a Romantic style with some Gothic decorative elements on the exterior. There was a previous parish church (dating back to the 10th century), built right on the summit of Colle della Rocca, but in 1239, Emperor Frederick II ordered its demolition to make way for the construction of the imposing and impregnable keep for military use. Thus, it was necessary to rebuild the parish church lower down, in its current location.

Behind the church, the panoramic terrace and staircase (Vicolo Scalon) are very beautiful.
