San Giuseppe church

San Giuseppe church exhibits Italian Gothic architecture with a Renaissance facade, fourteen Stations of the Cross, and multiple decorated altars inside the building.

The construction of San Giuseppe church started in 1519, with the Observant Friars Minor acquiring the property in 1515 and completing major works by 1541.

The church maintains two of the oldest organs in Lombardy and contains the tomb of Gasparo da Salò, who developed the modern violin.

After suppression between 1866 and 1896, the church resumed operations and later dedicated one of its cloisters as a museum under diocesan management.
