Facts and practical information

The church of Santa Maria al Ponte or Ospedale is located in the territory of the municipality of Malegno in Valle Camonica, province of Brescia.

The small structure stands on a bend in the Oglio River, in the vicinity of the ancient bridge that connected the territories of Cividate Camuno and Malegno.

A slender bell tower with heavily splayed single-lancet windows is visible at the building.

The origins of the church are linked to the ancient hospice - xenodochio administered by the parish of Cividate, already attested in the year 1000 and under the administration of the order of the Umiliati.

The mid-13th century saw the erection of the present church, on the former chapel dedicated to the Epiphany and the Magi, protectors of wayfarers.

The exterior structure was again remodeled in the 17th century. Inside are frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries, brought to light by recent restorations.
