San Benedetto Church, Roman Catholic church in Tremezzina, Italy

San Benedetto Church is a religious building situated on Monte Galbiga's southern slope at roughly 800 meters elevation, featuring three naves ending in semicircular apses. A square bell tower completes the structure and defines its distinctive appearance against the mountain landscape.

The monastery is first mentioned in a 1031 diploma of Bishop Litigerio of Como, issued alongside the founding of Sant'Eufemia on Isola Comacina. Around the mid-11th century, land of the Como monastery of San Carpoforo was entrusted to Benedictine monks, who built the abbey and came to own the Monti di Colonno and Ossuccio and the Alpe di Lenno. The church is attested in 1083 and the monastery active seven years later; in 1430 its abbey dignity was suppressed and in 1431 it was annexed to Acquafredda.

The name San Benedetto in Val Perlana comes from the Benedictine order and the Perlana stream, whose two tributary valleys meet at the abbey. Until the early 1900s the church was still a pilgrimage destination for the people of Lenno, as photographs in the parish archives show. The chapter house, once frescoed, was used as a goat stable by farmers until the mid-20th century.

The church is accessible via Strada per San Benedetto, with coordinates 45.992941 latitude and 9.164772 longitude available for navigation. The elevated mountain location means the walk involves some slope, so sturdy footwear and time for the climb are helpful for visitors.

The chapter house, once frescoed, was used as a goat stable by local farmers until the mid-20th century. A burial was also brought to light during restoration of the old capitular building between 1989 and 1997.
