Sagrestie of the Basilica of saint Martin, Baroque sacristy in Alzano Lombardo, Italy.
The Sagrestie is a set of three interconnected rooms arranged in an L-shape, equipped with ornate wooden furniture and decorative stucco throughout. The spaces vary in size and function, from smaller work areas to larger display rooms.
Construction permission was granted on August 12, 1676, by Bergamo's podestà, authorizing expansion of the San Martino Basilica during its final building phase. This formal approval marked the start of work on this important addition to the religious complex.
The second sacristy room displays a large altar with Andrea Peracca's sculpture of Christ's Passion and allegorical figures that visitors see right away. These artworks frame what the space means as a place of worship and reflection.
The space is part of the Museo d'Arte Sacra San Martino, which displays religious artifacts and maintains regular visiting hours. Visitors should check if guided tours are available to better understand the intricate details of the ornate rooms.
The third rectangular room resembles a miniature conclave chamber and features frescoes by Giulio Quaglio il Giovane depicting biblical scenes of Abel and Abraham's sacrifices. This hidden art room showcases a rare series of wall paintings that visitors often miss.
