An isolated and almost hidden pearl, on the edge of the forest and isolated from the gaze of travelers, the church of Sant’Adriano is a jewel as small as it is precious.

The church we see today is the result of an extraordinary stratification of works and interventions carried out in different eras.

However, we can date the current small oratory to the years between the 11th and 12th centuries, a time when the Benedictine nuns of San Vittore di Meda, who became owners of the Olgelasca oratory, promoted major renovations of the existing building, up to its present form.

The location of the church, still isolated and eccentric today, could be explained by assuming the construction of Sant’Adriano (and of the church prior to the intervention of the nuns of Meda) on the structure of a pagan temple. The pagan places of worship were in fact located in secluded, peripheral and, as in this case, wooded sites (think of the Basilica of Galliano itself), unlike the Christian churches which, on the contrary, will rise in the heart of the inhabited centers imposing themselves as strategic urban hubs.

There is a drinking fountain, but it was recently closed.

Near the church there is a fountain (not always functional).
