The cathedral of Sant’Eusebio, patron saint of Vercelli and Piedmont, boasts ancient origins, but its current appearance is the result of numerous restorations. In Roman times, there was a necropolis here where San Teonesto, the first Christian martyr of Vercelli, a victim of Diocletian's persecutions, was buried. Next to him, Sant’Eusebio was laid to rest in his honor.

Tradition has it that the basilica was founded by Emperor Theodosius I, but the barbarian invasions caused serious damage, requiring subsequent reconstruction work. Thanks to its position on the Via Francigena, the cathedral has become a fundamental stop for pilgrims over the centuries, a testimony made evident by the precious relics preserved inside, including those of Thomas Beckett.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Sant'Eusebio is the main church of Vercelli and the seat of the archdiocese of the same name. Built near the burial place of Sant'Eusebio di Vercelli, the first bishop and patron of Piedmont, it contains several important works of art, including the monumental Ottonian Crucifix. Several members of the House of Savoy are buried inside. It was elevated to the dignity of a minor basilica by Pope Gregory XVI in 1834 and declared a national monument in 1940.
