BASILICA OF ST JAMES

PONTIDA

ITALY

Benedictine abbey compounds with the basilica of St James Major with a rich history dating back to 11th century.

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”

- James 3,17

When I arrived in the evening, it was already a bit late and the church was closed. I walked around the abbey and found it a very nice place, there were lots of young people all around.
