Colico - Abbazia di Piona
The "Abbazia di Piona" (= "Priorato di Piona") is not easy to find. It is located on a promontory stretching out into Lake Como, offering panoramic views of the "Lago" and the mountains behind.
A church, dedicated to Saint Justina existed in the late 7th century. The ruin of the apse can still be found. Today´s single nave church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was completed before 1138. Parts of the apse´s frescoe still exist after 800 years. Here are the apostles (St. Peter on the left). Above was a Pantocrator flanked by the symbols of the evangelists.
The priory founded here had ties to Cluny.
Since 1938 Cistercian monks have revitalized the complex, so this is a convent again.
