Cortona Cathedral

Cortona Cathedral, also known as the Duomo di Cortona, is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta (the Assumption of Mary). Built between the 16th and 17th centuries on the site of a Romanesque church, the cathedral features a simple Renaissance facade and a spacious interior with a single nave. The cathedral houses several important artworks, including a painting by Luca Signorelli (the 'Deposition from the Cross') and a wooden crucifix from the 14th century. The adjacent Diocesan Museum displays additional treasures, but the cathedral itself is a peaceful place for reflection and appreciation of sacred art.

• Luca Signorelli's 'Deposition from the Cross' (1502), a masterpiece of Renaissance painting.
