Church of Sant'Eufemia della Fonte

The church features Gothic exteriors with Renaissance elements, large apse, and multiple altars displaying artworks from different periods.

The monastery construction started in 1008 under Bishop Landolfo of Brescia, who entrusted the management to Benedictine monks for water systems development.

The church changed its name from San Paterio to Sant'Eufemia, honoring a young Christian martyr from Chalcedon who died during Roman persecutions.

The religious complex stands near the Grand Canal, which branches from the Chiese river at Gavardo before flowing toward eastern plains.

The monastery ceased operations in 1478, later became a farmstead, then military storage, and now functions as part of the Mille Miglia Museum Association.
