I knew thid cathedral for many years, only from outside, and I never suspected how beautiful the interior is. An amazing mix of pictures, colours, marble, decorations... Definitely worth a visit.

What a beautiful cathedral! I loved the contrast between the façade and the interior, the austerity of the exterior and the richness of the baroque interior.
It is peaceful so you can pray and feel closer to the angels.

The Cathedral of St. Donat is the main church of Mondovi. It is located just off Piazza Maggiore. It is built on the site of several earlier churches. What you see today was designed by Francesco Gallo in 1739 and completed by Benedetto Alfieri and Filippo Nicolis di Robilant twenty years later.
The interior is interesting for its many frescoes and paintings. Many of the works of art date back to the earlier, demolished buildings. It has a number of sculptures from earlier churches.
The organ was built in 1822 by Serassi Brothers, restored by Carlo Bossi Vegezzi in 1893 and restored and enlarged by his heirs in 1939.
There is also an interesting wooden pulpit, and a very nice Baroque Rococo choir
It is decorated in a combination of polychrome marble and faux marble.

Immediately behind Piazza Maggiore, the Cathedral dedicated to San Donato is striking for its large sandstone façade with the protruding bust of the blessing patron saint.
It was the last important work of the architect Francesco Gallo, built in the mid-eighteenth century. The interior was profoundly remodeled a century later and the current layout is nineteenth-century, with imposing pillars and an abundance of stucco and gilding.
The suffrage chapel (the last one on the right) with its large alabaster crucifix and various paintings on the side altars deserve attention.
