Bagni Regina Giovanna

Duomo
On Corso Italia, the gleaming white façade of the Duomo gives no hint of its inner exuberance. Of particular note are the marble bishop's throne and the beautiful wooden choir stalls. Outside, the triple-tiered bell tower rests on an archway into which three classical columns have been set.
