Chiesa di San Donato, Romanesque church in Sesto Calende, Italy.

The church features three aisles with absidated ends, while its northern apse maintains original structural elements and medieval exterior decorations.

Bishop Liutardo from Pavia initiated the construction of San Donato church in the mid-9th century near the strategic Ticino River crossing.

The interior contains numerous frescoes spanning from the 15th to 17th centuries, alongside an ancient wooden crucifix and decorated crypt.

Visitors can access the church through Via Abbazia, with additional routes available from Lentate, Taino, and Angera via provincial road SP69.

The church's crypt displays architectural excellence through small columns supporting vaulted ceilings in traditional Romanesque style.
