Under the careful eye of the Countess Matilda of Tuscany, construction began sometime in the 11th century, taking over 100 years to complete. The outside of the medieval building is adorned with carved biblical scenes and intricate scrollwork in sandstone. The interior features 3 grand naves that stretch 20 meters up into high vaulted ceilings. As one of the most intact cathedrals in Europe, the woodwork and moldings are beautifully preserved and appear as they did at the time of construction.
