Arezzo Cathedral, dedicated to Saints Peter and Donatus, dominates the city from atop the hill of San Pietro. Its construction began in 1277, thanks in part to the bequest of Pope Gregory X, who had died in Arezzo the previous year.
Inside, it houses extraordinary masterpieces: Piero della Francesca's fresco of the Magdalene, Guido Tarlati's monumental 14th-century cenotaph, and the splendid Renaissance stained-glass windows by Guillaume de Marcillat. Among the most beloved works is the Madonna del Conforto, the center of popular devotion born after the miracle of 1796 that, according to tradition, stopped a violent earthquake.
