Latina Cathedral

The lower parts of the exterior walls contain alternating bands of tuff and travertine. The gabled west front has a portico with three high round-arched openings in front standing on square pilasters, and corresponding to each arch a doorway behind opens into the body of the church, each one surmounted by a single window filled with stained glass. In the pediment are the sculptured arms of Pope Pius XI, while on the pilasters in the angles are statues of the Four Evangelists.

To the south of the church, in an isolated position, stands the tall campanile, built on a square groundplan, also with alternating bands of tuff and travertine. The bell chamber at the top contains three bells and on each side has a window with a single opening. Above the bell chamber stands a marble replica of the Madonnina on top of Milan Cathedral.

Interior looking east

The cathedral interior consists of a single-aisled nave with four chapels to each side. The nave is covered by an open wooden A-framed roof divided into four bays by lesene of yellow marble. The chapels are roofed by barrel vaulting and lit by high single windows; they are connected by high round arches. The fourth chapel on the south side, which is deeper than the others, has on its back wall a marble altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary surmounted by a wooden polychrome statue of the Madonna and Child.

The nave terminates in a long apse between the tabernacle on the north side and a statue of Saint Mark by F. Magni on the south side. The apse contains the presbytery which is raised on several steps above the body of the church. At its centre is the high altar over which hangs a crucifix, and the bishop's throne (cathedra). The back wall is decorated by a band of modern mosaics by V. Cinti.
