Cathedral of San Cassiano and Bell Tower

The Cathedral of San Cassiano stands majestically in Piazza XX Settembre. The ancient origins of the diocese are uncertain, a plaque preserved in the sacristy attributes the foundation of the first Romanesque cathedral dedicated to the saint to Bishop Vincenzo in 708.
The current one, designed by the Roman architect Angelo Cerruti and consecrated in 1740, appears, especially if contextualized at the time, truly of a disproportionate size when compared to the urban context, which dominates with its imposing size.

In the square on the side of the cathedral stands the contemporary Bell Tower, the work of the Venetian Giorgio Fossati. At the entrance of the church a pictorial panel illustrates the ambitious original project, which reduced in height, losing its initial impetus, following a collapse which occurred when the work was practically completed in 1757 which left only the Istrian stone base intact. The bell tower was rebuilt after more than a century in 1868.
