Fantastic place, don’t miss the tower and the silver relic

Beautiful facade and the interior contains some impressive artworks from the 13th to the 18th century.

A lovely simply furnished cathedral with an unusual decorated ceiling & ceiling joists.

Beautiful church. Free entrance unlike a lot of other Tuscan cathedrals.

Place where silver altar of Saint James the Apostle (Santiago) is. It is worth to see but you have buy a ticket in baptistery nearby. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

I really like Pistoia, it is a nice side trip from Florence

beautiful sights not many tourists

The bell tower is well worth a climb for a great view of Pistoia

This imposing cathedral is built in Romanesque style with three naves divided by stone pillars, a raised presbytery and crypt. The central nave has fourteenth century wooden ceiling. The Duomo, next to the beautiful bell tower. The church was subsequently re-named after San Zeno, who was much loved by the leading Longobard population. Other saints associated with this church are San Felice, San Ruffino and San Proculo.

It contains surprisingly large amount of art works, in particular the silver altar that is in a separate chapel. Get the audio guide and you will learn so much more about the art works and history of the cathedral. For example Boccaccio’s master, Dante’s close friend, Cino da Pistoia is buried there.

Most beautiful church we visited whilst in Tuscany, well worth a trip to Pistoia

Really nice cattedrale
