β β β β β This is in Como, Italy. One of the oldest churches I have ever seen and it is part of a Monestrie which is now the university of Insubria. Well worth a visit.

β β β β β I did not expect to see such a treasure! The place not to miss during the visit to Como. If you arrive by train, you can visit it before going to city.

β β β β β This is the second oldest church according to our guide. Unlike so many churches in Europe, which are often a mixture of various styles, here one finds quite a rather unaltered Romanesque construction.
The Basilica, built in the 11th century over an even older church as has been found out by recent excavations, is aesthetically very pleasing - from the exterior as well as inside. There are also some wall paintings, although they date from the 14th century.
In the middle are the relics of Saint Abbondio, a local bishop, and of two of his successors, rather unknown saints elsewhere. Next to the church is a courtyard, recently restored, which now gets used by the town's university

β β β β β One word for this Basilica... incredible!
The Rev. Fr that walked us through the story of the basilica made it sound and look so lovely. I couldn't help but wonder how the love of God have greatly inspired the generation before us.
