Sant'Orso, Romanesque collegiate church in Aosta, Italy
The religious structure features three naves, semicircular apses, and a 46-meter-high bell tower with multiple three-light and four-light windows.
The church, established in the 5th century, underwent complete reconstruction around 1000 CE under Bishop Anselmo with a basilica layout and three naves.
The Romanesque cloister contains forty carved capitals depicting religious and secular scenes from the period when the clergy adopted Augustinian rules in 1132.
The church opens daily from 9:00 to 17:30, with free entrance to the main building and minimal fees for accessing the cloister and other areas.
The underground crypt, created in the 11th century to honor Saint Ursus burial, includes five naves and two apses, forming a miniature of the main building.
