Very interesting example of gothic. Unfortunately paintings need some restauration works, but the Cathedral itself is big and impressionant. Loved the wooden works and pink stone sculptures

Bolzano Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the artistic vision of its builders. The cornerstone was laid in the 14th century, and its design reflected a blend of local influences and broader European styles. Inspired by the surrounding Dolomite mountains, the cathedral's architects incorporated elements reminiscent of the jagged peaks into the pointed arches and spires. The exterior, adorned with intricate stone carvings, depicted scenes from local folklore and biblical tales, creating a unique narrative etched into the very fabric of the cathedral. Inside, a play of light and shadow orchestrated by stained glass windows created a spiritual ambiance. The architects ingeniously designed the nave to symbolize the journey of life, with pillars representing milestones and the vaulted ceiling reaching towards the divine. Bolzano Cathedral became not just a place of worship but a living chronicle of the region's history and culture. Each visit offered a visual dialogue between the sacred and the secular, as the architecture itself became a storyteller, whispering tales of faith, resilience, and the beauty of the Alpine landscape.

Architecture of this cathedral is amazing. You immediately feel the the medieval vibe. Hadn't been inside the church but it looks gorgeous from outside, located right in the centre of the city next to the main square. Very well maintained, especially when it's Christmas time, the area completely changes it's look with lighting and Christmas market next to the cathedral.
