Chiesa di San Barnaba

Tradition holds that the Church was founded in 936 by the Adorni family. In fact, it seems that the current building has been built on a previous St. Lowrence's Church dating back to the ninth century. The building then took on its current appearance in 1779, when the Lorenzo Boschetti's project was completed. In 1810, in full Napoleonic rule, the parish was suppressed and desecrated. It was later converted to exhibition space dedicated to the machines of Leonardo da Vinci. The facade, built in 1749, is in Classical style, with high Corinthian columns. The interior has a nave with six side altars are decorated with paintings and a square-shaped presbytery. There are two paintings by Jacopo Palma the Younger, "The Last Supper" and "The Road to Calvary", and an altarpiece depicting St. Barnabas and Saints by Titian school. On the ceiling there are two large paintings of the eighteenth century, attributed to Costantino Cedini. The brick bell tower is Romanesque, with a square belfry decorated with a mullioned window on each side and topped with a conical spire. In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", the Church was used as the setting for an imaginary library, while the front of the field was used to film the scene in which the hero, after being penetrated in the underground, out of a manhole.
