Santuario del Carmelo, historic building of Monza
Description
The Santuario del Carmelo is a shrine in Monza featuring a neoromanesque brick facade with three aligned portals and rose windows. The structure follows the architectural patterns of early Romanesque design adapted for its 20th-century construction.
History
Construction of this shrine began in 1932 and Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, consecrated it in 1934. The building emerged during a period of active religious construction in the Milan region.
Culture
The interior holds artworks spanning different periods, including a 19th-century reproduction of the Madonna of the Harpies and a 20th-century fresco of the Adoration of the Magi. These pieces reflect the artistic traditions that have been maintained within these walls.
Practical
The building sits at the intersection of Viale Cesare Battisti and Via Arrigo Boito in central Monza. It functions as an active parish church under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milan and welcomes visitors during standard opening hours.
Did you know?
The upper loggia of the facade features a central statue of Saint Teresa that aligns with the building's pediment profile. This sculptural detail is one of the most characteristic elements of the exterior.
