Matris Domini Monastery Tours

Many European cities are lucky to have a link to the past with their old walls. Visit this city that is doubly fortunate, as the walls are in excellent shape.

Appreciate the array of historical relics in the museum and snap photos of the 360-degree views from the main tower of this medieval outpost.

Photographers say, to get a true feel for a place, get high. Obviously that means elevation. Take in Lombardy’s Bergamo and environs from this high location.

Renaissance art, iconic architecture and a medieval baptistery adorn this cathedral on Piazza Vecchia. It’s Bergamo’s main church.

Admire the works of art in this 12th-century church that has no main entrance. The structure sprang from the wreckage of a plague.

Gaze at the beautiful frescoes adorning the dome and see the gloomy tomb in this spectacular church likened to a jewel box.
