Cathedral of Arezzo

The Cathedral of San Donato in Arezzo, also known as the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Donato, is an architectural and spiritual jewel that dominates the city from the top of a hill. Its history is rooted in Roman times and intertwined with that of the martyred saints. With a neoclassical façade redone in the early 1900s and an interior that encompasses centuries of art and devotion, the cathedral stands as a time capsule. Inside, the three naves and works of art, including those by Guillaume de Marcillat and Giorgio Vasari, tell stories of faith and beauty. A unique feature is the Ark of San Donato, which holds the remains of the city's patron saint. To visit it is to take a journey through the history, art and spirituality of Arezzo.
