Saint Benedict church

Saint Benedict church is a Catholic church building in Limone sul Garda with a distinctive bell tower topped by a white stone onion dome. The structure sits in the village center and contains religious artworks from different centuries, including altarpieces and painted religious scenes.

This building was constructed in 1691 by Andrea Pernis, replacing an older Romanesque church that had stood on the same site. References to a church at this location date back to medieval times, making it a continuous spiritual center for the village.

The building is dedicated to Saint Benedict, a name reflecting the deep Catholic roots of this lakeside village. Inside, you can see religious artworks created by local and regional artists who served the community across different periods.

The interior is open for visitors to view the artworks and architecture up close during most times of the day. Plan your visit outside of regular service times if you prefer a quieter experience and more time to look around.

Saint Daniel Comboni, who later became a missionary working across Africa, received his baptism within these walls. His connection to this modest village church hints at the life journeys that can begin in the smallest of places.
