Adria Cathedral (or the New Cathedral; (イタリア語:Duomo di Adria), ''Cattedrale Nuova dei Santi Pietro i Paulo'') is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Adria, in the province of Rovigo and the region of Veneto, Italy. It is the seat of the Bishop of Adria-Rovigo. The present cathedral replaces the much older former cathedral nearby, dedicated to Saint John, the Old Cathedral (''Cattedrale Vecchia'', ''Chiesa di San Giovanni''), which continues in use as a parish church. The new cathedral, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, was built in the early 19th century over a 14th-century church. When works were undertaken in 1830 to investigate the stability of the foundations, a Byzantine crypt and frescoes were discovered. The cathedral also contains a Byzantine bas relief of the 6th century, a Byzantine altar and crucifix, and in the sacristy some magnificently carved cupboards by Jacopo Piazzetta from the Charity School of Venice. Behind the building a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes was constructed in the 1930s, which still attracts many visitors. ==Sources and external links== * (Adria Cathedral official website ) * (Diocese of Adria-Rovigo: official website ) * (Catholic Encyclopedia: Adria ) * (Catholic Hierarchy: Dioccese of Adria-Rovigo ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adria Cathedral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
