Chiesa del Santissimo Corpo di Cristo, Religious building in Castiglione Olona, Italy.
The Chiesa del Santissimo Corpo di Cristo features a square structure with fluted sandstone pilasters and an octagonal drum supporting a hemispherical dome.
Built between 1437 and 1444, this church replaced a 13th-century oratory dedicated to the Holy Sepulchre and represents the first Brunelleschian building outside Tuscany.
The interior walls display colored terracotta statues of the Four Doctors of the Western Church and a 15th-century painting by Galdino da Varese.
The church maintains its original architectural elements, including a Lombard-style bell tower with a chamber featuring round arches on all sides.
The construction employs a herringbone technique in the dome, demonstrating advanced engineering methods from the early Renaissance period.
