Santa Maria Assunta church

Santa Maria Assunta is a baroque church in Manerba del Garda with a two-tiered facade decorated with Corinthian columns, curved pediments, and ornamental statues. The building displays typical baroque features with elaborate architectural details on its exterior.

Construction of this church began in 1746 under architect Antonio Spazzi and was completed in 1757. The building was created during a period of significant church development as a religious center for the expanding community.

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and its interior displays works by local artists created over generations. Visitors can see paintings and musical instruments made by regional masters that reflect the religious life of the community.

The church is located in an easily accessible area of town and can be reached on foot. Visitors should wear modest clothing and check opening times, which are typically linked to religious services.

The vault of the main nave has been protected by a safety net since the 2004 earthquake, remaining as a visible sign of the building's repair history. The fresco paintings by Giovanni Verenini from 1880 on this ceiling are preserved and can be observed by visitors.
