The parish church of S.Andrea the churchyard and the nearby church of S.Silvestro (with its two-tone paintings depicting the macabre dances) represents a beautiful Romanesque style, whose first dating dates back to the 6th century. The interior and the church of S. Silvestro on the side are absolutely worth visiting

Parish Church of St. Andrew

Located in the ancient village of Iseo, the parish church of Sant'Andrea is one of the oldest churches in the Diocese of Brescia. Its origins date back to the 5th-6th centuries, as evidenced by the remains of the early Christian apse beneath the presbytery.

The present building is the result of numerous interventions over the centuries: the Romanesque apse (12th century), the bell tower (13th century), the nave and side chapels (15th-16th centuries), and finally the Baroque façade (18th century).

The church's facade is dominated by its 14th-century tower. Originally built on the remains of a Roman temple, the church is also the burial place of Giacomo Oldofredi, a nobleman of great importance to the town of Iseo.

Inside the church, numerous frescoes can be seen, including the exquisite works of a pupil of Titian on the altar and above the entrance. A notable feature in the nave is a tombstone set into the floor, dating from 1765.
