Vezzolano Abbey, Religious complex in Albugnano, Italy
The Vezzolano Abbey features alternating bands of stone and brick across its Romanesque facade, with three levels of blind galleries and dual naves.
Founded on January 17, 1101, the religious complex started as a canonical community when nobles donated a church dedicated to Saint Mary.
The abbey functions as a national museum under the Italian Ministry of Culture, displaying medieval religious artifacts and hosting photography exhibitions in its cloister.
The wheelchair-accessible religious site welcomed 35,874 visitors in 2022 and provides audio guides for comprehensive architectural and historical information.
The interior houses a finely decorated rood screen, combining French and Lombard influences within its Romanesque-Gothic architectural design.
