Cremona Cathedral • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the heart of Cremona. As you stand in the majestic Piazza del Comune, you are looking at the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, a site that has anchored this city for over nine hundred years. This square is widely considered one of the most beautiful medieval ensembles in all of Italy. Before we head inside, take a moment to look at the cathedral’s striking white and pink marble face.[8] It is a building that tells a story of resilience, as it has survived natural disasters and shifting empires to remain the symbol of Cremonese identity. You are currently at the highest point of the old medieval city, a spot chosen intentionally long ago to keep this sacred place safe from the frequent floods of the nearby Po River.
