Kirchen in der Lombardei

Lombardy's Most Stunning Churches

Lombardy’s ecclesiastical landscape spans nearly two millennia of history, showcased through early Christian basilicas, Romanesque monasteries, and Gothic cathedrals. The list features architectural landmarks like Milan’s marble-clad Duomo and the Renaissance illusionism of Bramante’s San Satiro. Key highlights include the UNESCO-listed Santa Maria delle Grazie, home to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, and the unique ossuary of San Bernardino alle Ossa. From the Romanesque circular Duomo Vecchio in Brescia to the lakeside hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, these sites represent the region's diverse spiritual and artistic evolution.
