Bressanone Cathedral

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Cassian stands on Domplatz, in the heart of a city that for centuries served as the seat of prince-bishops. It acquired its present appearance in the 18th century, when it was remodelled in the Baroque style, and its two façade bell towers are visible from across the entire valley. The interior is bright and lavish, with marble altars and a large fresco on the vault, the work of Tyrolean painter Paul Troger. The cathedral is the natural starting point for exploring the old town.
