Gothic building from the 13th century.
The Cathedral of Arezzo is a Gothic three-nave basilica. The five bays of the nave are divided by bundle pillars and bear ribbed vaults. The clerestory windows have the shape of Okuli modeled on the Santa Maria Novella in Florence. To the north of the choir stands the slender, hexagonal campanile of 1857/1937. The missing transept and the abandonment of a dome are due to an influence of the mendicant architecture.

Be sure to visit the park behind the cathedral. Very nice view and a kiosk with food and drink.

The Cathedral of Arezzo is an important religious building dedicated to San Donato and is an important example of Tuscan Romanesque architecture and an obligatory stop for those interested in the art and history of the region. Its construction began in the 12th century and ended in the 13th century. Inside, the cathedral houses some important paintings and frescoes, including the "Madonna di Senigallia" by Piero della Francesca. The Cathedral is also famous for its outstanding acoustics, making it an ideal venue for concerts and musical performances.
