Chiesa di San Bartolomeo

A must for lovers of art history, the Church of St Bartholomew retains the magnificent altarpiece by Lorenzo Lotto, depicting the Madonna and child with saints. The great Venetian painter lived in the city from 1513 to 1525, and painted this work on commission by Alessandro Martinengo Colleoni. The church dates from the first half of the seventeenth century, and was built on the site of an ancient religious building from the thirteenth century. You can see the impressive baroque facade from the beginning of Sentierone Avenue.
