Cappella di Teodolinda, Gothic chapel in Duomo of Monza, Italy
The walls of the chapel contain 45 painted scenes arranged in five registers, depicting the life story of Queen Theodelinda through medieval frescoes.
Built around 1400 during the cathedral reconstruction, the chapel houses the Iron Crown used for coronations and the sarcophagus of Queen Theodelinda.
The Zavattari family completed the artistic decoration between 1441 and 1446, combining fresco techniques, dry tempera, relief decorations, and gold leaf applications.
The chapel requires guided visits and maintains specific opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with reservations recommended for access through its red curtain entrance.
During restoration work in 1941, researchers discovered human remains identified as Queen Theodelinda and her son Adaloaldo, along with Lombard period artifacts.
