Sacred art

St. James the Greater Church of Baresi

Church clearly visible from the entrance to the Upper Brembana Valley, built on a rise that allows it to dominate the valley with the dolomite Mount Messa behind it. The present church dates from the second half of the 1700s, built on an earlier parish church from 1463. Consisting of a single nave, it is enriched by works by Carlo Ceresa and Antonio Gandino's rediscovered painting of the Immaculate Conception, a work rich in symbolism.

A visit is recommended, if only to enjoy the splendid view.
