Santa Croce Church, Catholic church in Riva San Vitale, Switzerland.
The Santa Croce Church features an octagonal dome supported by eight monumental columns and includes two side chapels with a pronounced presbytery.
The church construction was completed in 1582 under the commission of Giovan Andrea Della Croce, with architectural design by Giovan Antonio Piotti.
Three altars crafted by Domenico Fossati di Arzo complement the interior paintings created by Camillo Procaccini, depicting religious episodes and ceremonies.
Located on the northern side of Riva San Vitale in the canton of Ticino, the church maintains regular opening hours for religious services.
The church displays a slender bell tower integrated into its structure, topped with a lantern that mirrors the design of the main dome.
