Duomo, Belluno

In 1517 Tullio Lombardo was paid for a model for the reconstruction of Belluno Cathedral; the building is similar to Treviso Cathedral, the abbey church at Praglia and Cividale Cathedral, so it seems likely that Tullio's plans were executed.

The interior of the cathedral, majestic in appearance, has Renaissance lines even if the height of the pilasters tends more to the Gothic. There are three naves of six spans. The presbytery has triple rows of stalls. The cupola is airy and light.
