Basilica di San Vittore
Basilica di San Vittore, Minor basilica in Varese, Italy.
The Basilica di San Vittore features a neoclassical white marble facade with four Ionic columns and an octagonal lantern topped by a golden globe cruciger.
The construction progressed through three phases from the 16th to 17th centuries, with the presbytery completed by 1542 and the main structure designed by Pellegrino Tibaldi.
The central nave contains neo-baroque decorations and frescoes by local artists, while the major altar displays Lombard Rococo style crafted by Viggiutesi sculptors between 1734 and 1742.
The basilica maintains regular visiting hours from Monday through Saturday and can be contacted at +39 0332 236019 for additional information and guided tours.
A bullet from the Austro-Hungarian army attack of May 30, 1859, remains embedded in the southern wall as a testament to the city's resistance.
