San Barnaba, Baroque church in Mantua, Italy.

The San Barnaba church displays a single nave with three symmetrical side chapels on each side, separated by balustrades and decorated with marble altars.

Francesco I Gonzaga entrusted the church to the Servite Order in 1397, and architect Antonio Galli Bibiena redesigned its facade in 1724.

The interior contains significant artworks, including Giuseppe Bazzani's Via Crucis and Lorenzo Costa's Miracle of the Fish and Loaves of Bread from 1582.

The church stands at the intersection of Via Giovanni Chiassi and Via Carlo Poma, featuring multiple large windows that illuminate the semicircular apse.

The remains of Renaissance architect Giulio Romano were interred here in 1546, though the tomb disappeared during the 1737 reconstruction works.
