    former Franciscan monastery

    Translated by Google •

      The former Franciscan monastery is located in the middle of the town of Gargnano on Lake Garda. The main attraction of the building is the cloister.

      History of the monastery
      The monastery was founded by Franciscan monks in 1266. After the monks left the monastery in the 19th century, it was used as a lemon warehouse before the Catholic Church repurchased the building to keep it as a national monument. A church used to belong to the monastery, but only the facade has been preserved. The cloister, however, is almost intact. The capitals on the pillars, which are decorated with regionally typical motifs such as leaves, fruits of lemon trees and fish, deserve special attention.
