The main attraction here is the Duomo. I read somewhere that this is the best example of the transformation of Gothic into Renaissance. Like all Gothic cathedrals, it was built over the course of centuries. Construction of the cathedral began in 1396 and was completed almost 400 years later - in 1770, when a rococo dome was built over the cathedral. Not only the marble facade is interesting, but also the interior. The cathedral offers free tours and also has a display case detailing the history of the cathedral with illustrations and photographs.

We visited once during our 6 day stay in Como but walked past it several times every day. It’s the focal point of Como Town. One day when we were passing there was a service on and the choir were singing, it was really very moving. We stayed in an apartment 2 mins away and heard the church bells regularly throughout the day. The cathedral was free to enter and was beautiful inside and out. The best thing was how the colours of the stone changed during the sunset and when it rained. We enjoyed our visit here and used the duomo daily to get our bearings. The piazza in front of the duomo is good too. Highly recommended when in Como.

Como Cathedral also known as Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta and is a Catholic cathedral, and is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is known as the last Gothic cathedral built in Italy. Construction began in 1396 , and did not finish until 1770. Its a rather pretty churh with lovely sculptures on the facade and quite symetrical.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this duomo truly is. We admired the outside architecture, then was more impressed with the interior. The details are just magnificent. This made a drizzly day activity wonderful. Really liked the bright blue in the dome ceilings, also some great stained glass work. Just a lovely experience.

It was beautiful. I met the Father though he didn't know English but he was kind enough to bless me and i felt lot of warmth in the way he made me feel heard without me telling him anything. The chruch walls have beautiful engraved art and signs. One should definitely visit the church.
