The Cathedral of the Image is located within the complex of Santo Stefano al Ponte, a now deconsecrated Romanesque church located in the square of the same name in the center of Florence. This hidden gem is located a few steps from Via Por Santa Maria, near the famous Ponte Vecchio.

The church was originally built between the 11th and 12th centuries in Romanesque style with a polychrome marble facade and a three-nave interior. In the 14th century, the exterior of the church was redesigned and only the marble section around the portal remains of the original facade today. Between 1631 and 1655, the interiors of the church were renovated, transforming the three naves into a single space. A crypt was added and the interiors were redesigned to include a choir.

Santo Stefano al Ponte is one of the unknown masterpieces of the Florentine architectural heritage. In 2015, thanks to the intervention of Crossmedia Group, the church was reborn with the name of the Cathedral of the Image, transforming itself into the first permanent Italian center for Immersive Art Experiences. A space where art, culture and customs find a new life.

The interiors have been digitally mapped, creating the first Immersive Art theater in Italy, which hosts real Immersive Exhibitions dedicated to the great masters of world art.

In addition to digital art, the Cathedral of the Image hosts, as an auditorium, concerts of classical and contemporary music and events of great artistic and public appeal.
