The church is very old, dates back to the eleventh century, but was rebuilt in the second half of the fifteenth century according to Renaissance architectural canons. At the main entrance there are several steps. Wheelchair users can try to access it, perhaps with help, from the side entrance that has only one step. The cathedral is located in the square of the same name where there are several parking spaces for disabled people.

If you like architecture, art and all things surviving for centuries, do visit the Duomo.
Cortona is a small town and aside from the amazing views of the countryside and good food, you might be looking for places to visit.
The Duomo should on your list ...
and the good thing is, you don't have to climb to see it...

This is not about the Duomo, but the town of Cortona. It is very charming and worth a visit. You can wander and enjoy all the views and take in the shops and the restaurants. I had expected it it be a little "Disneyland-like" but it wasn't. Yes, there were quite a few tourists but it's not easy to get to so there aren't as many as you would expect. Take your walking shoes and bust it up some of the stairs and hills and you will be rewarded.

The piazzas of Cortona are magical in their vivid life, as too are its denizens, The Duomo represents another aspect of its people's panoramic character. It's hard to understand how a few can speak demeaningly of such a wonder" "Skip it, This or that is so much better". Better as if we can prove that chocolate or vanilla is inherently better one than the other?
Rash judgment in such matters, is often the bi-product of a lack of historical, artistic and religious perspective. The Pieta here at the Duomo di Cortona or anywhere is not trying to imitate another more famous. They're engaged in a homage, a reminder, a deference to something other, most certainly not a competition.
This edifice has its own beauty, breadth, delicacy and power, but behind the beholder's eyes must be the nucleus of an appreciative mind and spirit.

The winding drive upward to the Tuscan hilltown of Cortona can sometimes be breathtaking - but it is always beautiful. The "home town" of the famous Catholic Saint Margaret of Cortona, whose statue will be found after you have fully ascended to the Piazza of the Duomo, Cortona is an explorer's dream - many short and enclosed courts and so much practical use of Etruscan burial sculpture.
Most of it found during the digging of some of the foundations of the oldest dwellings in the town. This is a ;laid-back' town, with tourists drawn by the Frances Mays book & film, Under the Tuscan Sun. Personally, I was far more impressed by Hannibal's defeat of a Roman Legion on the not too distant shore of Lake Trasimeno, but if you are in the Umbria/Tuscan border area, you would be remiss to not visit Cortona. Many pleasant restaurants and cafes to give your hill walking legs and feet a break. Explore and enjoy a Tuscan town that has not been too spoiled by it's fame.

In every village we visit a stop in at least one church or cathedral is a must, so this was something we sought out. This cathedral is lovely - not as large as some in larger towns but still magnificent in its own way. The altar is beautiful, with enormous silver candlesticks bearing very tall candles. Overhead is a magnificent umbrella chandelier -- something to see.
The art is astounding as it is in most duomos - large, detailed, and very old. Lovely visit.

This is a rich piece of Corton's history. It is a must see for anyone visit in the town of Cortona. Parking was not easy, but well worth the effort to locate a parking spot, even if you have to walk a short distance.

What a delightful and living Church. We enjoyed hearing the Mass and seeing the young people (more than 100) enjoy some Spiritual Community Time. There are a few paintings by Signorelli (famous son of Cortona) behind the Altar. And some nice Crucifix Sculptures...Good luck and Enjoy!

Andrò al Duomo l'8 dicembre per rendere omaggio a San Guido qualcuno sa se la Chiesa é sempre aperta o ci sono degli orari?

Can you have a wedding ceremony here and what would the cost be?
Written July 13, 2017
The day we visited, there was a wedding of people from Philadelphia under way. So, foreigners are allowed to have their ceremony there. I do not know how to arrange it, but you could try googling a question or send an e-mail to the parish, if you can find its address.
