Ivrea Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in Ivrea, Italy.
History
The church was first built towards the end of the 4th century, when it presumably replaced an earlier Roman temple.
Bishop Warmund, who held the episcopal seat of Ivrea from 969 to 1005, decided to undertake a campaign to enlarge the church. Thus, cathedral was rebuilt in the Romanesque style, with works achieving completion in the 12th century. [1]
Description
The church is located in the highest area of Ivrea, close to the Ivrea Episcopal Palace, to which it is connected through a covered walkway, and the Ivrea Castle. It features a Neoclassical façade.
