What travellers are saying
- DamCar6599 contributionsMy main reason for visiting Mantua was chiefly because Giuseppe Sarto was bishop here (1884-1893) before becoming Pope St Pius X, in 1903. Alas, I was disappointed, since his cathedral church only has a very simple altar in his honour. Never the less, the Cathedral is still worth visiting. The current building is of the 11th century (built after the previous building burnt down and excavations show that this was a Christian religious site dating back to the early christians). The numerous modifications it has undergone take away any preset stylistic unity. Very much a mixed bag of Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic. However it is still an imposing building with an enormous amount of frescos. You could spend hours just examining them all. Several members of the Gonzaga family are buried here. Other historical artefacts can be found, with a 4th century sarcophagus being the oldest. The Blessed Sacrament chapel (to the left of the main altar) is also very beautiful and very peaceful.Written 2 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gambin_OriginalZurich, Switzerland79 contributionsThe open character of this church, just next to the Castello di San Giorgi, makes it a nice prologue to the Castello visit; just go walk and see, you'll see also some of the marks the earthquake 2012 has left on the church.Written 29 May 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LaNufkaProvince of Trento, Italy12 contributionsFascinating frescoes and the entrance is - on Italy surprisingly - free. It is better to park at the other end of the city and go to the church across the city.Written 29 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BethanyLincsLangtoft, UK86 contributionsUnless you're in the area (we were, at Hotel Casa Poli), then see whether you can find out when the church is open before making the trip.Written 31 May 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Magellano81Tortona, Italy41 158 contributionsThe Saint Barnabas church is a very small Christian church located in the heart of the historic center of the city, I would say that it has no peculiarity worthy of note as perhaps the two most important churches of the city like the Cathedral Saint Andrew and Saint Peter's Basilica; moreover, when I visited it was under renovation.
Maybe even a short visit of 5 minutes would be a good idea.Written 10 October 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Something to have a quick look at in passing.Written 7 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
