The
Duomo of Monza (Italian:
Duomo di Monza) often known in English as
Monza Cathedral is the main religious building of
Monza, near
Milan, in northern
Italy. Unlike most
duomos it is not in fact a cathedral, as Monza has always been part of the
Diocese of Milan, but is in the charge of an
archpriest who has the right to certain
episcopal vestments including the
mitre and the
ring. The church is also known as the
Basilica of San Giovanni Battista from its dedication to
John the Baptist.
