Treviso - Cathedral

From the Piazza dei Signori Via Calmaggiore, the main street of Treviso, flanked by fine 15th and 16th century houses, runs northwest to the Piazza del Duomo. The cathedral of San Pietro, with five domes, was built in the 15th and 16th century on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, with a crypt dating from the 11th and 12th century; the porch was added in 1836. The interior contains pictures by Titian ("Annunciation", 1517) and Paris Bordone, and fine frescoes by Pordenone (1519-20). The Cappella del Sacramento is decorated with fine sculptures by Pietro and Tullio Lombardo and L. Bregno. To the left of the cathedral stands the Romanesque Baptistery (11th-12th century), with 13th century frescoes and a fine font.
