Its present name comes from the martyrdom of S. Domninus under Maximian in A.D. 304. The cathedral, erected in honor of this saint, is one of the finest and best preserved Lombardo-Romanesque churches of the 11th to 13th centuries in north Italy. The upper part of the faade is incomplete, but the lower, with its three portals and sculptures, is very fine; the interior is simple and well-proportioned, and has not been spoilt by restorations. Not far from the town is the small church of S. Antonio del Viennese, a 13th century structure in brick. The Palazzo Comunale, in the Gothic-Lombard style, is a work of the 14th century. Borgo Val Di Taro is an important centre for the produce and cattle of Emilia.
