The Archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo is a joint ecclesiastical territory and metropolitan see of the Catholic Church in the Marche region of Italy. It has existed in this form since 1986, when the historical Archdiocese of Ancona was united with the Diocese of Osimo. The archbishop is seated in Ancona Cathedral, with Osimo Cathedral as a co-cathedral. Osimo Cathedral or the Church of San Leopardo (Italian: Concattedrale di Osimo, Chiesa di San Leopardo) is the principal church of Osimo in Italy, and co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo. According to local tradition the cathedral was built by the first Bishop of Osimo, Saint Leopardus (San Leopardo), 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.
