Como - San Fedele

San Fedele, the ancient Cathedral of Como, has paleochristian origins.
The present church dates from 1120.

The church is surrounded by buildings, so it cannot be seen, that this is San Fedele has an unusual floor plan. The church has three apses in clover-leaf shape, a "triconchos", similar to "St. Maria im Kapitol" (Cologne), the "Chapel of the Cross" (Muestair) and "Germigny-des-Prés".

The facade, seen here, is neo-Romanesque, (re-)built in 1914.
