Cappella Colleoni, Renaissance chapel in Città Alta, Bergamo, Italy
The marble facade of the Cappella Colleoni displays intricate geometric patterns in white, red, and black, with a rose window above the main entrance.
Giovanni Antonio Amadeo constructed this mausoleum between 1472 and 1476 for Bartolomeo Colleoni, a military commander who served the Venetian Republic.
The interior features frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo depicting the lives of Saints Mark, John the Baptist, and Bartholomew on the dome ceiling.
Visitors can enter the chapel without charge from March to October between 9:30-12:30 and 14:00-18:30, except on Mondays when it remains closed.
The tomb of Bartolomeo Colleoni contains his actual remains, discovered in 1969 hidden beneath a plaster cover inside a wooden coffin.
