6 reviews of Cappella Colleoni

Colleoni Chapel

Colleoni Chapel is arguably the most beautiful building in Bergamo, although the surrounding building are also beautiful.
It is dedicated to the saints Bartholomew, Mark and John the Baptist. It was built between 1472 and 1476 as a mausoleum for Bartolomeo Colleoni.
The facade makes use of diamond-shaped decorations in polychrome white, red and black marble. The main portal has the rose window, flanked by two portrait medallions of Julius Caesar and Trajan.
The top of the base has nine rows of reliefs with Biblical stories and four bas-reliefs depicting the life of Hercules.
For centuries it was thought that the remains of Colleoni were buried elsewhere and that the sarcophagus was empty. However, on November 21, 1969 the tomb of Colleoni was discovered in a wooden coffin, hidden in the bottom of the sarcophagus.
