This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin: "Santa Croce"), derives its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan in 312). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The church celebrates the feast of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross - called the "Exaltation of the Cross" - on September 14th.

The Cathedral of Alexandria, located in the city center, stands on the site of a building built in Lombard Gothic style that was demolished in 1803 for military purposes by Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1805 he created the first church of San Marco of Napoleon Himself, which was reconstructed by the architect Cristoforo Valizzone (1807-1810). In addition, there is a story in new style, in contrast to the preserved parts, namely the vault of the central nave and the columns. The questionable style was built in 1874-1879 by the Vercelli architect Edoardo Arborio Mella (1808-1884), which resulted in the architect's residence in Bramante style with talent for works in the two arms of the transept. The current decoration dates from 1926-29 and was entrusted to Luigi Morgari of Turin (1857-1935), while the high altar dates from 1954. The presbytery is decorated with 5 stained glass windows (1954) depicting the Immaculate Virgin, St. Pius V, S. Baudolino, S. Paolo della Croce, the worthy Gregorio Maria Grassi. The organ (1929) completes the ensemble, whose facades adorn the four women's galleries above the presbytery. Behind the high altar you can admire the eighteenth-century choir in inlaid wood, where there is a beautiful painting by Callisto da Lodi (1546) representing St. Peter between St. Paul and St. John the Baptist. Outside, the facade is in neoclassical style with Corinthian order columns. From the paintings that decorate it, there are Saint Peter freed from prison, Saint Peter receiving the keys, Saint Peter going to meet Jesus on the waters of Lake Tiberias, a work by Luigi Vacca of Turin (1771- 1854). In that tympanum, Vacca himself represented the Eternal Father, while in the attic five marble statues represent the Redeemer and the four Evangelists. One wall of the facade is a monument to Gagliaudo, located near the old cathedral, a legendary character who saved the city during Barbarossa's siege of Alessandria (1174).
