Sant'Ambrogio Parish Church, Catholic parish church in Ponte Capriasca, Switzerland

Sant'Ambrogio Parish Church is a neoclassical building erected in 1835 by Carlo Brilli on a Greek cross plan, with a choir and a nave taken over from the earlier church. Its Romanesque bell tower, modified in 1717, 1818 and 1913, keeps original single and double-mullioned windows and traces of two sundials.

The church was first mentioned on 9 May 1356, when it was consecrated, and on 14 February 1455 it became the seat of a parish. Its present appearance dates to 1835, when Carlo Brilli rebuilt it on a Greek cross plan with a choir, keeping the Romanesque bell tower and the nave of the earlier 13th-century church.

The church is dedicated to Saint Ambrose, and its 1550 Last Supper fresco is attributed to Cesare da Sesto, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a copy of Leonardo's Milan mural, and the building also keeps 16th-century fresco fragments and a group of statues of the Crucifixion.

The building is located in the municipality of Ponte Capriasca in southern Switzerland and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the church has specific opening times and it is recommended to check ahead before planning a visit.

The 1550 Last Supper fresco is attributed to Cesare da Sesto and is a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's work. The church also keeps fragments of other 16th-century frescoes and a group of statues depicting the Crucifixion.
