Discovering St. Peter and Paul in Barni

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Barni is one of the oldest in Vallassina and was commissioned by the Benedictine monks of San Pietro al Monte in Civate. The bell tower and part of the apse area represent the oldest parts of the Church, which can be dated to the 11th century and denote its Romanesque origin. The Church is located outside the village of Barni, which is why it ceased to be a parish church in the 18th century, when the church of Santa Maria Annunziata was built in a more central location.
