Since the nineteenth century, Mondov\u00ec has been known especially for its ceramics, a rich production that supplied nearby Liguria. Traces of the Monregalese ceramics district remain in the precious collection housed in the dedicated museum.<\/p>\n<p>Mondov\u00ec also has strong Baroque influences and some of the most famous examples of this artistic expression include the Cathedral of San Donato, designed by Gallo in the eighteenth century, and the Belvedere garden, which offers splendid views dominated by the Civic Tower.<\/p>\n<p>The Cathedral, a jewel of eighteenth-century \u2018Rococo\u2019 Baroque splendour, surprises with its large frescoes, precious paintings, wealth of polychrome marble, the alabaster crucifix on the right-hand nave, its wooden choir and imposing organ. If you have the chance to visit it in the morning or late afternoon, you will notice the enchanting light coming in through the yellow stained glass windows that bring out the golden details of the capitals and friezes in a surprising contrast with the complementary colours of the colonnade.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1795792909\">\n\t\t<a
