Certosa of Garegnano |
The Garegnano Carthusian monastery
– just 200 mts far away from the Accademia Hotel
- was founded in 1349 by Archbishop Giovanni Visconti.
Little is left of the original 14th century building
as it was completely rebuilt between the end of the
16th and beginning of the 17th century by Pellegrino
Tibaldi. The walls of the nave are decorated with
a fine series of frescoes by Daniele Crespi (1629)
with episodes from the history of the Carthusian Order
and its founder St. Brunone. On the right of the church
there is a late sixteenth-century cloister.
