Its main jewel is the Duomo (St. Stephen's Cathedral), famous for the Major Chapel, adorned with an impressive cycle of frescoes by Filippo Lippi, a masterpiece of Renaissance art. Outside the cathedral stands the Pulpit of the Sacred Cintola, by Donatello and Michelozzo. The city also boasts the Emperor's Castle, the only example of Swedish architecture in central-north Italy. With all the services of a major city, it is a stop that allows pilgrims to discover a less crowded Renaissance center.
