Sant' Alessandro in Colonna, Baroque Catholic basilica in Lower Bergamo, Italy
The basilica features a Latin cross layout with a single nave, four side chapels, and a facade made of Botticino marble in neoclassical style.
Following the collapse of the original structure in 1447, the church underwent reconstruction and received consecration in 1474 by Bishop Lodovico Donà of Bergamo.
The sacristy contains notable artworks, including paintings by Lorenzo Lotto, Romanino, and Alessandro Bonvicino depicting religious scenes and figures.
The bell tower, completed in 1905, contains twelve bells and provides access through 126 steps to reach the Madonna del Patrocinio statue at its summit.
The churchyard displays the Column of Crotacio, assembled in 1618 using Roman fragments, marking the traditional site of Saint Alexander's martyrdom.
