A Romanesque structure from the 11th century, Basilica di Sant'Abbondio features well-preserved frescoes inside its apse, and exquisite geometric relief details around the windows. The frescoes depict images from the life of Jesus--they were carefully restored to their medieval glory in the 1990s. A university operates within the former cloister--stroll its grounds to get a better look at the apse exterior.

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.

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.
