Collegiate church of Innichen, Romanesque collegiate church in Innichen, Italy.
The Collegiate Church of Innichen stands with a robust stone facade, three naves, and a bell tower constructed in the Eastern Alps of South Tyrol.
Founded in 769 as a Benedictine monastery by Bavarian Duke Tassilo III, the structure transformed into a collegiate church around 1140 through extensive reconstruction.
The church houses the San Candido Crucifixion Group from the 13th century, displaying Christ with a Mongol head beneath his foot.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and contains a Chapter Museum showcasing artifacts, including 3000-year-old vases, Roman coins, and medieval manuscripts.
The painted cupola contains the largest surviving Romanesque fresco depicting the Creation, including a hidden self-portrait of the medieval artist.
