Chiesa di Sant’Orso

Aosta
View of the Church of Saint Ursus (Chiesa di Sant'Orso) in Cogne, Italy.
  • The church and cloister are part of an active monastery, so dress modestly and be respectful of worshipers when visiting.

  • The church is free to visit, but there is a small fee to visit the cloister, church attic with its fragments of 12th-century frescoes, and chapel of the adjacent Priory of Saint Ursus, decorated in frescoes dating from the 15th century.

  • The intricately carved column capitals in the cloister make for unique photos, so be ready with a charged camera.

  • Chiesa di Sant’Orso and the adjoining cloister are partially accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
