Saint Florentius church, Gothic chapel in Bastia Mondovì, Italy
Saint Florentius Church displays extensive medieval frescoes depicting religious scenes, with walls covered in detailed paintings from floor to ceiling.
The church, completed on June 24, 1472, survived through centuries while maintaining its original Gothic architectural elements and structural integrity.
The interior frescoes narrate biblical stories through visual representations, featuring detailed illustrations of the seven deadly sins and their consequences.
Visitors can explore the church every Sunday between April and October from 3 PM to 7 PM with free guided tours available.
The walls contain a collection of demon and monster illustrations that served as educational tools for teaching moral lessons to illiterate congregants.
