The most beautiful religious buildings Lacs italiens

The monastery of Saint-François was the main religious complex of medieval Bergamo. Built between the th and th centuries, two beautiful cloisters are still visible today: the first says delle ark, because it retains a dozen funeral monuments intended to accommodate tombs of the main families of the city; from the second "well", you have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The ensemble today hosts the historic Museum of the city.

This church and the chapel that accompanies it are installed on a panoramic terrace overlooking Morcote. It can be reached by a long staircase (sporty climb!). The interior presents frescos dating from the Renaissance, but partly hidden by an organ, moreover remarkable (17th century), and others, from the 18th century, also painted on the case of this organ.A few more steps and you reach the cemetery from where the view is particularly splendid.

Admire the magnificent panorama of Lake Maggiore. Three chapels were built there, including the church of the Holy Trinity, which dates back to the sixteenth century, and the chapel of the Garden of Gethsemane, restored to the th and in which statues represent Christ kneeling in the vicinity of an angel in the garden of Olive Trees.
