Duomo
About
The Duomo di San Lorenzo in Perugia is a striking example of late Gothic architecture, enlivened by its palette of pink and white marble. Inside, the nave’s vaulted ceiling and the intricate altarpiece of the Deposition by Barocci offer visitors a glimpse of Renaissance artistry. The adjacent Cathedral Museum, housed in medieval cloisters, displays archaeological artefacts spanning the Etruscan to Roman periods, making the cathedral a cultural hub for both art lovers and history enthusiasts. Visitors can also admire the solemn Mater Gratiae sculpture and the famed Santo Anello, key symbols of Perugia’s religious heritage.
