Then- seeing the various frescos of the renaissance houses- we went on with the trip reaching Saint Andrea’s Cathedral: the first question we were asked was: why a so big church stays in a little town? The answer is that Portogruaro - when this church was consecrated on the 4th August 1833 - was an important stopping place on the way to Venice and to the close town Concordia, that was the seat of the diocese. 

The building, with three naves and a semicircle apse, has a neo-classical style, and interprets in a new way the renaissance canons. The external front of the church has remained incomplete , and we haven’t the project either.
The Bell Tower that seems the Pisa’s Bell Tower was object of astonishment because they asked us why it was so rickety and we told them that is due to the sinking of the foundations, in fact one angle of the belfry juts out 1.09 meters from the vertical line but it is sure because the last works of the reinforcement date back to 1963.
