Osimo Cathedral or the Church of San Leopardo is the principal church of Osimo in Italy, dedicated to the first bishop, Saint Leopardus. Formerly the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Osimo, it has been since 1986 a co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo.
According to local tradition the cathedral was built by the first Bishop of Osimo, Saint Leopardus , in the 5th century, on an earlier pagan structure of the Roman period. Another, unverified, tradition asserts that the building was re-constructed in the 7th century by the then bishop, Saint Vitalian: there are no structural remains of that period, but there is a stone tablet dedicated to Saint Vitalian built into the crypt wall.
