Lodi Cathedral is the principal Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Lodi in Lombardy and serves as the seat of the Diocese of Lodi. The building has medieval origins and has been altered and refurbished in later centuries.

The cathedral is visited for its role as the city’s main church and for its architectural and artistic features typical of an Italian diocesan cathedral. Visitors usually see the cathedral as part of the historic centre of Lodi and its main civic squares.

The main fabric of the church reflects a long building history with phases from the medieval period followed by later modifications and restorations. Over time it has remained the focal point for major liturgical functions and diocesan events.

It is located in the city centre of Lodi in Lombardy, roughly southeast of Milan, and sits within the historic urban core where civic and religious buildings are concentrated.

• Diocesan seat: Serves as the cathedral church and episcopal seat for the Diocese of Lodi in Lombardy, making it the city’s principal religious building.

Lodi is about 30 km southeast of Milan. By train, regional services run from Milano Centrale to Lodi station (approx. 20-30 minutes); from the station the cathedral is a short walk into the historic centre (Piazza della Vittoria). By car, follow the A1 and regional roads toward Lodi.

• Visit during a weekday morning to avoid weekend service crowds and to see the light in the cathedral's nave.
• Look for the medieval stone pulpit and the 15th-century fresco fragments - small details often missed on a cursory visit.
• Check mass times before planning a visit; services can restrict access to the nave during certain hours.
