CHIESA DI SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA (DUOMO) -(XV century).
The church of Santa Maria Assunta as known as the Cathedral or Duomo rests on the ruins visible on the facade of the ancient parish church. It is one of the oldest if not the oldest church of the city. It was constructed at the dawn of the age of Christianity perhaps in the fourth century on the foundations of pagan temple. Its actual form is due to constructions which took place in the second half of the fourteenth century on designs attributed to Giuliano da Sangallo. Immediately after the new constructions the church was declared the Diocese cathedral taking the title away from the church of San Vincenzo located outside the walls. The central doorway and the side door are both works by Cristofanello (XVI century).
=======================
CHIESA DI SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA - DUOMO - (XV secolo).
La chiesa sorge sulle rovine, viisibil in facciata dell' antica Piev, una fra le chiese più antiche se non la più antica della città, costruita aglia albori dell' era cristiana forse nel secolo IV sulle fondamenta di un tempio pagan. Nella sua forma attuale fu costruita verso la metà del XIV secolo su un disegno attribuito a Giuliano da Sangallo e subito dopo la sua costruzione fu dichiarata cattedrale diocesana traslando Il titolo dalla cattedrale di San vincenzofuori le mura. Il portale centrale e quello laterale sono ritenuti entrambi opera di Cristofanello (XVI secolo).
