The cathedral by Giuliano da Maiano is one of Faenza's notable landmarks. Its construction began in 1474, on the site of a previous cathedral, by order of Carlo II Manfredi (lord of Faenza between 1468 and 1477), while his brother Federico was bishop of Faenza. The architect was the Florentine Giuliano da Maiano. The brick façade was left incomplete, it was never fully faced in marble or stone.
