Abbey of Sant'Albino, Medieval abbey in Mortara, Italy
The Abbey of Sant'Albino features a brick open gallery with wooden architraves and a Gothic window decorated with rural motifs from the 14th century.
Founded in 701, the abbey served as a burial site for soldiers who died in a local battle in 773, including two of Charlemagne's paladins.
The interior walls display three frescoes from 1410 by Giovanni da Milano, depicting Saint Anthony Abbott, the Baptism of Jesus, and the Virgin with Saints.
The architectural complex combines Romanesque elements in its hemicircular apse with Renaissance influences visible in the facade and nave construction.
Ancient graffiti carved into the abbey's bricks by medieval pilgrims dates back to 1100, providing direct evidence of historical visitor presence.
