Trento - Cathedral

In the center of Trento is the Piazza del Duomo, which has a beautiful Neptune Fountain (1768). The cathedral (11th-12th centuries), on the south side of the square, was remodeled internally at the beginning of the 13th century as a pillared basilica in Lombard Romanesque style; the central dome was entirely renewed in 1887-89. The Council of Trent met in the church from 1545 to 1563. The interior has 13th-14th century frescoes and numerous bishops' tombs (mostly 14th and 15th century). Under the cathedral are the remains of an early Christian church (sixth century), with a fine mosaic floor.
