For smaller wedding parties, the church of San Niccolo’ was recently restored and has finally reopened after 5 years of careful restoration. It is a true spectacle of architectural beauty, set in one of the most picturesque parts of Cortona. The church is the perfect and intimate setting for couples wishing to exchange their vows in a Catholic ceremony in Cortona. The exterior dates from the 1400’s with an elegant and graceful bell tower while the interior is composed of three altars surrounded by fine works of art including a masterpiece by Luca Signorinelli, on the main altar depicting the Deposition of Christ from the Cross. This lovely church is easily reached on foot from the center of Cortona.

Florence Wedding Ideas

San Niccolo’ of Cortona holds a maximum of 25 guests and the ceremony is performed by an English speaking priest. Music is permitted if sacred and a duo of harp and flute or organist with soprano would be an ideal combination.

In addition Cortona offers spectacular cathedrals and imposing churches for couples seeking a formal Catholic wedding ceremony in Tuscany.  The main Basilica of Santa Margherita is a masterpiece of stained glass and exquisite frescoes dating back to the 1300's.
