The Cathedral of Udine is a Roman Catholic church under the patronage of the Annunciation ( Duomo di Santa Maria Annunziata ). It is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Udine .

history

The first cathedral of Udine was built in 1236 at the instigation of the Patriarch Berthold von Andechs-Meran and dedicated to St. Consecrated to Ulrich . In 1335 it was renovated and inaugurated with the dedication to Santa Maria Maggiore. The earthquake of 1348 caused severe damage. After that and in the following centuries, today's three-aisled building with choir and side chapels was built. First the church was extended and the bell tower was placed on top of the existing baptistery. Finally the chapels were added. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Manin family supported a renovation with baroque redesign of the interior by the architect Domenico Rossi. Artists like Giovanni Battista Tiepolo were involved. The cathedral was rededicated in 1735 by Patriarch Daniel Dolfino with the dedication of Santa Maria Annunciata .
