Abbazia di Maguzzano

The monastery occupies a hilltop position near Lake Garda, with a Renaissance church featuring a single nave and a preserved cloister from 1492.

Founded by Benedictine monks in the 9th century on a Lombard site, the monastery underwent destruction by Hungarians in 922 and Visconti troops in 1438.

The monastery maintains an iconography school dedicated to religious art and hosts educational activities about monastic traditions and spiritual practices.

The museum offers guided tours, while the monastery provides accommodation for spiritual retreats and organizes religious meetings throughout the year.

The monastery grounds include centuries-old olive trees used to produce Maguzzano extra virgin olive oil, reflecting local agricultural traditions.
