Photograph of the Church of the Bendictine woman's convent on Isola Comacina on our Visit to Lake Como Italy

Photograph of the Church of the Bendictine woman's convent on Isola Comacina on our Visit to Lake Como Italy. The South and North walls, and the lower part of the apse of the medieval church are well preserved. The surface of the wall is very regular with large square ashlar blocks and Lombard bands at the uppermost course of the wall. The original interior of the wall has been lost due to alterations. the ceiling, covered with cross vaults, has been lowered and replaced with a barrel vault. A crib, a basin and a stone bench have been propped against the partially preserved walls. The two small apses are still well preserved.
