Cathedral Saint Mary of The Assumption, Montepulciano

Located in beautiful Piazza Grande, Cathedral Saint Mary of The Assumption is the central Catholic worship place for the people of Montepulciano. Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (Duomo di Montepulciano) was built during the 17th century but consecrated in 1712. However, the religious roots of the place are much longer since it was built on an earlier 15th-century church, and the bell tower of the original church still stands. The church has a lovely rustic-like façade, and the interior has magnificent artworks, including an early 15th century Assumption of the Virgin triptych by Taddeo di Bartolo.
