Belluno Cathedral Site Features

Juvarra’s bell tower

A major eighteenth-century architect working in a small mountain city. The tower is the best building in Belluno and is visible from everywhere in it.

The unfinished facade

Bare brick, and an honest record of a project that ran out of money.

The altarpieces

Veneto-school painting including Jacopo Bassano, in a church few visitors reach.

The setting

Facing the Palazzo dei Rettori across Piazza del Duomo, with the Dolomites visible beyond the rooftops.
