Situated in the heart of Carrara, the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea Apostolo stands as a testament to the city’s rich history. This cathedral, dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle, pays homage to an ancient parish church. It holds the distinction of being the first medieval edifice constructed entirely from Apuan marble. What sets this cathedral apart is its exceptional construction. Not just the ornamental details, but the entire structure, including the bell tower, is crafted from blocks of marble. This use of marble in every aspect of its construction underscores the cathedral’s architectural significance and its deep-rooted connection to the region’s marble heritage.
