Como - San Fedele

Como - San Fedele
San Fedele, the ancient Cathedral of Como, has paleochristian origins. The present church dates from 1120.

San Fedele´s unusual floor plan cannot be seen. There is a wide nave, two aisles and three apses in clover-leaf shape, a "triconchos", similar to "St. Maria im Kapitol" (Cologne), the "Chapel of the Cross" (Muestair) and "Germigny-des-Prés".

This is the ancient portal of one of the two side apses, it may date back to the 11th century, The carvings are unusual style and I have the impression, that some of them may origin from the preceding church dedicated to Saint Euphemia.
