The Duomo is one of the most beautiful churches in Italy. Indeed Piazza del
Duomo is ranked amongst Italy's finest, with much of the merit rightly
going to Adamo d'Arogno's masterpiece, which was built in the 13
th century. (There's a small square dedicated to the architect at
the back entrance of the cathedral.). It was built mainly in Romanesque
style but has Gothic influences on its façade, which with
its immense portal complete with 14th Century lunette is a sight
to behold.
