Cathedral, mother church of the Diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio, built in two phases, between 1122 and 1150 and 1202 and 1235 (or between 1207 and 1250 according to other sources) in Romanesque style with the addition of Gothic elements in the second phase. The design of the building is said to have been the work of Niccolò, with whom Wiligelmo is also said to have collaborated. The interior has a dome painted in the seventeenth century by Morazzone and Guercino. The presbytery and choir were painted towards the end of the sixteenth century by Camillo Procaccini and Ludovico Carracci: most of their works were moved from their original location during nineteenth-century restorations. Under the belfry with four lancets there is an iron cage built by Ludovico il Moro in 1495, a kind of deterrent for the criminals of that time.

If you look up, hanging outside the bell tower, you see a cage that Ludovico il Moro wanted to hang in 1495 as a warning to anyone who had committed a crime. He would have been imprisoned there.

The cathedral of the diocese of the same name. Very old and beautiful to look inside with lots of old murals.
