Basilica of St. Bellinus

The Basilica of St. Bellinus is a minor basilica and parish church located in the municipality of San Bellino, featuring the traditional ecclesiastical architecture typical of the Veneto region. The building displays characteristic elements of local religious architecture and serves the spiritual needs of the community.

The basilica was established in 1649 and holds the remains of Saint Bellinus, a Bishop of Padua who was killed in 1145 near Rovigo. The church was built as a place to honor and commemorate this early Christian martyr.

The basilica serves as the spiritual center of San Bellino, where locals and visitors gather for worship and religious occasions throughout the year. It remains an important focal point for the community's faith and religious identity.

A dedicated chapel was constructed in 1647 to house the relics of Saint Bellinus before they were moved to the main basilica. This separate chapel stands as a testament to the care taken in preserving and honoring the saint's remains.
