Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angioli

I visited Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angioli mainly for the famous fresco and it truly lived up to the hype. The artwork by Bernardino Luini took my breath away. From the outside it looks simple, but inside, it’s unforgettable.

Beautiful church. You'll be surprised when you hear the story about the paintings inside

A beautiful church with very old (medieval) frescoes. A must visit while in Lugano. Can be visited daily but not during the masses or concerts. Masses are at 5.30pm on Saturday and 10:30am and 5pm on Sundays. Before the mass on Saturday at 5pm and mass on Sunday at 4:30pm there's an organ concert of classical music for free. The church is open every day from 8:30am till 6pm. There's a lot written in the church to explain the frescoes or one can book a guided tour.

Home to the most famous Renaissance fresco in Switzerland painted by Bernardino Luini; who studied under Leonardo da Vinci. The church itself was built in 1499-1500.

Location is Awesome but not well maintained compared to other Churches in Lugano... But the view from the roof is the main attraction...Top view of Lugano is just awesome.... Every one should visit if you are visiting Lugano..

Absolutely stunning views and the most quaint little church. Would recommend the visit and a visit inside the church. We were very privileged to see how Italian people live in this stunning place.

What a lovely Renaissance style church. I entered here because I was stunned by an unusual chromium cross. Shining from far away like a lighthouse pointing the way to house of Lord.

Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli in Lugano, Switzerland, specifically known for the monumental fresco of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ by Bernardino Luini.
