Enter a free text date.
A church building with Latin inscriptions and the words "A.D. 1870" written on it stands on a street with two people outside a side entrance. Statues are on plinths and inside niches flanking a rose window, and Greek-style columns decorate the portal and the facades of both stories. The church was dedicated to St. Vibiana in 1876 and was the first Archdiocese Catholic cathedral, later transformed nto an event facility. The back of the postcard is divided between a return address area and an address panel, typical of a few years around the change in postal regulations in 1907 that allowed messages on the address side.
