Chiesa di Sant'Abbondio, Mannerist church building in Cremona, Italy.

The Chiesa di Sant'Abbondio features a single nave with a rectangular presbytery and exhibits late Mannerist architectural elements throughout its structure.

The current church structure was renovated in 1575 under Archbishop Borromeo's orders, replacing an earlier Romanesque building that dated back to the 10th century.

The interior decorations were executed by notable Italian artists including Orazio Samacchini, Giulio Campi, and Giovanni Battista Trotti, known as Malosso.

Located in Piazza Sant'Abbondio 2, the church contains a Renaissance cloister, the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Loreto, and a bell tower.

The Lauretan Sanctuary, built in 1624, contains an exact replica of the Holy House of Loreto and houses a Black Madonna statue transferred from the Cathedral.
