Sant'Angela Merici, Renaissance church in central Brescia, Italy

The Sant'Angela Merici church features an octagonal structure with red brick walls, concrete ribs, and a glass band along the cornice.

The church stands on a former Christian cemetery called San Latino and underwent complete reconstruction after severe damage during World War II.

The interior holds paintings by notable Italian artists including Tintoretto, Palma the Younger, and Francesco Bassano the Younger.

The church contains the tomb of Saint Angela Merici, founder of the Order of Ursulines, and receives regular visits from Catholic pilgrims.

The church crypt preserves paleochristian burial sites that date back to early Christian settlements in the Brescia region.
