The cathedral of San Pietro Apostolo, better known as "Duomo", is the main place of worship in the city of Treviso and the seat of the diocese of the same name. Consecrated to the St. Peter the Apostle. The beautiful monumental church was originally built in Romanesque style in the 11th-12th centuries. It is located in the center of Treviso in Piazza Duomo. From the 15th to the 16th century the Cathedral was restored in Neoclassical style, performed by Andrea Memmo and Giannantonio Selva, following the project of the castle architect Giordano Riccati, a portico with cross vaults replaced the old portico with column-bearing lions, and only the crypt remaining from the previous edifice. Today the main façade of the Duomo (Cathedral) is ornamented by a wide staircase open on three sides erecting a pronaos with six Ionic columns. The majestic indoors we may see a system made by three naves, which are divided by strong composite pillars supporting barrel vaults and domes alternatively. The apsidal portion rises above the remaining floor of the Church by several steps and it is superimposed upon the crypt. The presbytery gathers up the main altar dedicated to Saints Tabra, Tabrata, Teonisto, designed by Tullio and Antonio Lombardo. The main work of art is the magnificent „Annuciazione" by Tiziano in the Malchiostro (Malchin) chapel in perfect Renaissance style chapel, located in the background, while there is an "Adorazione dei magi" by Pordenone on the wall of the left side. The left chapel preserves some sculptures by Bregno and the works by Francesco Bassano and Antonio Zanchi located just beyond the "Redentore" by Pennacchi. We may see some paintings by Domenico Capriolo, by Girolamo D’Aviano, by Paris Bordone and by Pomponio Amalteo in the right chapel. The church has an unfinished bell tower, whose construction, according to the tradition, was stopped by the Venetian government to prevent it from becoming taller than the campanile of St. Mark's Basilica.

church is nice but the staff is quite rude. they kicked everyone out during opening hours without any apparent reason.

Well worth a visit! Astonishing architecture, build on top of the previous church, which is now accessible underneath the cathedral. And you get to see the amazing Malchiostro Annunciation by Titian!

When you see it you think its like a roman building, we didn’t have a chance to see it in the interior because they close from 12pm to 4pm but in the exterior looks really nice and big!
