The city has two major churches, the Duomo, which is the cathedral, and San Michele, which everyone mistakes for the cathedral. San Michele is the one that looks very majestic from the front, until you peer around back and see that the facade is a fake, with a much smaller church hiding behind the oversize facade. But it's a very pretty sight in a grand plaza. The actual cathedral is done in a similar style (it's Pisan for those of you who are connoissuers of Tuscan church architecture) dominating its own somewhat dusty square.
