LIGHTING ‘PALA MARTINENGO’ LORENZO LOTTO
EURO 0.50/MINUTE
In the heart of the lower town, along Bergamo’s favorite avenue for strolling, you’ll find the monumental facade of the Church of Saints Bartholomew and Stephen, which houses the prized Martinengo Altarpiece by Venetian master Lorenzo Lotto.
At the end of the eastern arm of the Sentierone you can visit the Church of Saints Bartholomew and Stephen, built for the Dominican Order in the first half of the 17th century to a design by architect Antonio Maria Caneva.
That of the Dominicans was not the first religious order to inhabit these sites; in fact, the site previously belonged to a community of the Order of the Humiliati.
The structure at the time was more complex and included a church and farmhouses.
Looking at the exterior of the church, however, you will be able to notice the successive eras of the building’s construction: the façade of Baroque imitation was redone in 1897, the outside porch on the left in 1942, and the side on Via Tasso is 19th century.
Cross the threshold and you will find a single nave with five chapels on each side.
The chancel is decorated with 16th-century inlays, and behind the high altar…you’ll finally be able to admire Lorenzo Lotto’s world-famous Martinengo Altarpiece, dating from 1516.
