Monza Cathedral

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

As a follow-up on Tuesday’s post about the chapel of St Theodelinda in the Cathedral of Monza, Italy, here are some photos of the cathedral itself, also taken by Nicola de’ Grandi. Like many Italian cathedrals, it was completely rebuilt on the site of an earlier structure, in this case starting in the mid-14th century, with the work continuing over a period of a few centuries.

The façade dates by Matteo da Campione, from the later part of the 14th century. The bell-tower was added between 1592 and 1620, and is just shy of 260 feet tall.

The altar frontal, by Borgina del Pozzo, dates to 1350-57, and represents episodes of the life of the cathedral’s titular Saint, John the Baptist.

Matteo da Campione also sculpted this Gospel pulpit, which was converted into an organ loft in the18th century.
