The Cathedral of Sant’Alessandro_2226

            The Cathedral of Sant’Alessandro is the cathedral of Bergamo, dedicated to Saint Alexander, the patron saint of the city. The cathedral is located in the historical center of the city – Città Alta, in the small but beautiful Piazza del Duomo. In the 8th century, a church in Romanesque style was built on this place, on the site of a paleochristian place of worship dating back to the 5th century. The church was dedicated to San Vincenzo (Saint Vincent of Saragossa). On May 3, 1459, the first stone was laid, and in 1467 the first chapel on the left side was completed and dedicated to Saint Catherine and Saint Jerome.However, after a couple of years, the works suffered an abrupt interruption due to the death of Filarete and to the simultaneous election of bishop Barozzi as Patriarch ofVenice. In 1561, the Church of Sant’Alessandro in Colonna was demolished for the construction of the Venetian Walls. The relics of the saint were transfered to the Church of Saint Vincent, making the two devotions coexist. In 1611, the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi was appointed to direct the works.In 1689, the architect Carlo Fontana built the dome, lengthened the apse and completed the cathedral in 1693. In 1704, through a papal bull of Pope Innocent XI, the church was dedicated only to Saint Alexander, and the side chapel of the presbytery was dedicated to Saint Vincent.

Бергамский кафедральный собор святого Александра вплотную примыкает к задней части старой ратуши, главный фасад которой выходит на Piazza Vecchia. Построили его, разобрав храм святого Викентия, а имя дали из-за того, что в храме было решено хранить мощи святого Александра. До этого они находились в церкви святого Александра (Chiesa di Sant’Alessandro), которую разрушили, чтобы построить крепостную стену. Строительство собора началось в середине XV в., но в конце XVII ст. храм перестроили, увеличив купол, удлинив апсиду. В XIX ст. изменились фасад, колокольня, внутреннее убранство. Фасад церкви оформлен скромно, внутри просторно, уютно, светло. Внутри можно увидеть работы Джованни Баттиста Тьеполо (Giovanni Battista Tiepolo), Джованни Баттиста Морони (Giovanni Battista Moroni), Андреа Превитали (Andrea Previtali).
