The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Snows (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Maria della Neve) is the main place of Roman Catholic worship in Nuoro, Sardinia, and the cathedral church of the diocese of Nuoro.
Built in the mid-nineteenth century, it stands in a square called the Piazza Santa Maria della Neve and is dedicated to the Madonna of the Snow (in Italian: Madonna della Neve; also, Our Lady of the Snows, Nostra Signora della Neve), the patron saint of Nuoro, whose cult is closely linked to the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica in Rome.
