Coro delle monache, Religious chapel in Brescia, Italy.
The Coro delle Monache spans two levels, featuring a modified ancient churchyard below and the main choir space with three windows above.
Construction of the choir began between late 1400s and early 1500s when Abbess Elena Masperoni commissioned master builders Filippo da Caravaggio and Giovanni del Formaggio.
The choir space contains frescoes painted by artists Floriano Ferramola and Paolo da Caylina il Giovane during the 1520s, depicting religious themes.
The structure stands at Via dei Musei 81B in Brescia, integrated into the Santa Giulia Museum exhibition route since 1998.
The choir represents an early example of Renaissance architectural style in Brescia, departing from the Gothic forms prevalent in the region.
