Tempietto di Santa Croce, Romanesque chapel in Città Alta, Italy
The Tempietto di Santa Croce exhibits an octagonal design with medieval frescoes depicting episodes from the life of Jesus inside the stone walls.
Documents from 1133 mention this structure as a capella episcopi, indicating its function as a bishop's chapel connected to the ancient Bishop's Palace.
The chapel stands near Santa Maria Maggiore as part of an ecclesiastical complex that illustrates the religious architectural evolution of Bergamo's upper city.
Located at coordinates 45.703219, 9.661663, the chapel remains accessible to visitors exploring the medieval district of Bergamo's hilltop section.
The building combines two distinct architectural volumes: a quadrilobed plan and an octagonal structure, reflecting local Romanesque construction patterns.
