Properly called the 'Cattedrale di San Zeno', the Duomo di Pistoia (Pistoia Cathedral) is one of the top tourist attractions in Pistoia. Built in the 10th century on the edge of the Piazza del Duomo, it is the seat of the Bishop of Pistoia and has a Romanesque façade, nave and two side-aisles, with a presbytery and crypt. It is first mentioned in 923, but suffered greatly over the centuries, being damaged by fire in the the 12th and early 13th centuries and then by earthquake in 1298.
