Cathedrals of Italy

By Dion Protani

Latest update: 21 January 2024

There are a total of 368 Cathedrals of Italy and to make an exhaustive list of them all would require a much longer page without any photos. So that being the case, 30 of the most famous, most beautiful and most distinctive are laid out below.

Of course, it's difficult to say one Cathedral is better than another because it's all a matter of opinion, but some just have that little something extra or may be an important representation of a particular architectural style. Italian Cathedrals are generally built in one of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque or Neoclassical and with the selection below we can find some of the best examples of each building style.

Salerno Cathedral, Campania
