Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, one of the most emblematic religious buildings in Ticino, was built in 818 A.D. and is now the Cathedral of the Diocese of Lugano. Its Renaissance-style façade is composed of white stone and Carrara marble, decorated with fine reliefs and rose windows. The interior blends Gothic structure with Baroque decoration and boasts a wealth of frescoes and sculptures. Located on the heights of the city center, with panoramic views over Lake Lugano and the city, the church is a must-see for lovers of history and art.
