Coro delle monache, Religious chapel in Brescia, Italy.

The Coro delle Monache is a two-story chapel space in Brescia with a modified ancient courtyard area on the lower level and the main choir section featuring three windows on the upper level. The structure is now part of the Santa Giulia Museum at Via dei Musei 81B.

Abbess Elena Masperoni commissioned master builders Filippo da Caravaggio and Giovanni del Formaggio to construct this choir space between the late 1400s and early 1500s. This construction reflected the artistic and architectural trends of that era in northern Italy.

The choir space displays frescoes created by Floriano Ferramola and Paolo da Caylina il Giovane in the 1520s showing religious scenes on the walls. These paintings reveal how the nuns used this room for prayer and singing together.

The choir sits on the Santa Giulia Museum route between the churches of San Salvatore and Santa Giulia, at Via dei Musei 81B. A document of 1479 mentions a ground-level room beneath the choir, then used as a covered entrance to San Salvatore; the choir itself is reached from the museum galleries. Look for the northern buttress that partly covers a window of the room below the chapter hall, documented from 1480.

The choir's attribution to a 1466 campaign is debated: since the late 20th century, stylistic comparisons with Brescia's Gothic churches have led scholars to propose a later completion, a partial rebuild, or work in phases into the early 1500s. A buttress on the north side partly covers a window of a room below the chapter hall documented from 1480.
