Church of Saint Barnaba, Baroque former church in Brescia, Italy.
The Church of Saint Barnaba features a marble facade, multiple cloisters, and stands on Corso Magenta in the center of Brescia.
Bishop Berardo Maggi established the church in 1299, replacing an earlier structure that was possibly built on the site of a temple to Hercules.
The church interior underwent a transformation between 1632 and 1659, incorporating elaborate decorations and architectural elements of the Italian Baroque style.
The building now functions as an auditorium and houses the Conservatorio Luca Marenzio, hosting musical performances and cultural events.
In 1490, Giovanni Pietro da Cemmo created a series of frescoes depicting the life of Saint Augustine in the church library.
