San Cristoforo, Renaissance church in Vercelli, Italy.
The church features three naves leading to a transept crowned by an octagonal dome visible from the exterior of the building.
The Humiliati order initiated the construction of San Cristoforo in 1515 after demolishing a previous church from the twelfth century.
The church contains numerous frescoes by Gaudenzio Ferrari, including the Madonna degli Aranci altarpiece depicting Madonna with Child and multiple saints.
Visitors can illuminate specific sections of the artworks by inserting coins into designated slots throughout the interior of the church.
The church contains a seventeenth-century replica of the Holy House of Loreto, traditionally considered the Virgin Mary's residence.
