What you'll see
A cathedral with a front of stacked marble arcades, each column carved differently; inside, Jacopo della Quercia's marble tomb of the young Ilaria del Carretto with her dog at her feet.
A brief history
The front dates from the 1200s; the cathedral also keeps the Volto Santo, a wooden crucifix said to have arrived by itself on an unmanned boat.
