The \u2018cathedral on the lake\u2019 stands at the beginning of Sal\u00f2\u2019s historic centre. It\u2019s a treasure trove of art and architecture, with a precious collection of paintings and a marvellous wooden crucifix.<\/p>\n

Built in 1453 on an old 13th century Romanesque structure, the cathedral is dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary and has been the most significant religious building in the town since its construction.<\/p>\n

The visit starts from the square outside, that we reach after a regenerative walk along the lake front. The cathedral has a somber style, with its unfinished terracotta fa\u00e7ade. But the true surprise starts once you enter. Indeed, the interior is a true treasure trove of artistic gems scattered along the three naves and in the presbytery, where we can admire a noteworthy wooden crucifix carved by Giovanni Teutonico and the imposing Ancona di Sal\u00f2, a sculpted altarpiece by Pietro Bussolo with ten wooden statues each positioned in a niche.<\/p>\n

Among the most significant paintings are \u201cMadonna and Saints Bonaventura and Sebastiano\u201d and \u201cSt. Anthony of Padua and a donor\u201d by Romanino. Other famous Italian artists are present in the church: Moretto, Zenone Veronese, Paolo Veneziano, Palma il Giovane.<\/p>\n<\/div>
