Abbey of San Dalmazzo di Pedona
Highlight • Religious Site
The formation of the monastic nucleus is documented in the early years of the 10th century when the Benedictine monastery was subjected to the bishop of Asti who in 948 had the relic of the body of San Dalmazzo transferred to Quargnento. After the year 1000 the Abbey became very powerful, its influence extended over about fifty priories from Provence to Pavia. In this period it was enlarged and took on its definitive Romanesque appearance. The ancient church was incorporated in the transformations, on the front remains a trace of the Romanesque facade completed in the XII century. In 1440 the Abbey was
reduced to the summer seat of the bishop of Mondovì. The church was enlarged and the "Angevin chapel" was built which popular tradition attributes to Queen Giovanna d'Angiò, who ascended the throne in 1343.
On the walls are fragments of a cycle of frescoes from the second half of the fifteenth century, with scenes from the life and miracles of the saint.
