San Giuseppe church, Gothic church in Central borough of Brescia, Italy
San Giuseppe is a Gothic church in Brescia featuring a Renaissance facade and interior filled with artistic details. Fourteen Stations of the Cross and multiple decorated altars are distributed throughout the space, creating a rich visual experience.
Construction began in 1519 after the Observant Friars Minor acquired the property in 1515, with main works completed by 1541. After closure between 1866 and 1896, the church was later reopened and has remained in operation since.
The church houses one of Lombardy's oldest organs and displays artwork that reflects its role as a place of prayer and reflection. Visitors can experience the artistic details and spiritual quality of the space directly.
The church is located in central Brescia near other historical landmarks and public transportation, making it convenient to visit. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and note that the space may not be open for tours during services.
The church houses the tomb of Gasparo da Salò, the inventor of the modern violin, creating a direct link to music history. One of its cloisters was later converted into a museum, offering a quiet retreat within the religious complex.
