Churches and places of worship La Spezia

The construction of the cathedral dates back to 1975 in a strategic point of the city with the purpose of the unification of the historic districts with the eastern ones. The outside has the form of a hyperboloid to a flap. The 50m diameter drum cover supports the wall and unloads the weight towards the steel structure of the joints. The interior receives light from the glass window of the eye in the center of the dome, which combined with the original frescoes make the cathedral the most important Catholic religious place in the city.

The Parish Church of S. Venerio dates back to the medieval period, with a Romanesque layout, rebuilt on a previous building. It has a simple facade and a bell tower, built later. Some details of the construction can be traced back to the first half of the 17th century.

The abbey church of Santa Maria Assunta is located in the historic city center, in Piazza Giulio Beverini, and is the main place of worship of the city. The church is divided into large naves punctuated by columns, and has three very characteristic entrance portals.
