Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Catholic basilica in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy.

The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is a Gothic church featuring a single nave with polygonal chapels and painted frescoes decorating its interior surfaces. The space is structured to guide visitors toward the main altar, with walls covered in artwork from different periods.

The church and convent were built at the behest of Bernardino da Siena, who arrived in Gardone in 1442; the land was donated by Giacomo and Bernardino Avogadro on 20 April 1442. A 1469 document shows construction had only recently begun, and a 1496 credit note names Bernardino da Martinengo as builder. After the 1798 suppression the friars were expelled and the convent sacked; they returned in 1799 but were expelled for good in 1803.

The name refers to the angels of the Franciscan devotion brought by Bernardino of Siena, whose monogram appears in the lunette above the dark stone portal. The church keeps the 1502 lunette of the Madonna and Child with three pairs of angels in the apse, and fragments of frescoes from the earlier chapel's apse, including five Franciscans.

The building is accessible during standard opening hours, though visitors need to navigate steps to enter the interior spaces. Comfortable footwear is recommended since the floor surfaces can be uneven and the indoor lighting is natural but subdued throughout the day.

The 1837 organ replaced part of the apse's right wall frescoes, which were destroyed to install it. The instrument was later removed, and in 1972 the barrel vault over the nave and some secondary rooms from the barracks period were taken down. The surviving 1502 lunette with the Madonna and Child and three pairs of angels remains in the apse.
