Chiesa di San Bernardo

The original core of the church of Bevia perhaps dates back to the twelfth century, but the first official mention in documents comes much later, in 1469; around 1490 the old medieval building was rebuilt. The Regola di Bresimo made a clear reference to it in one of its own deeds of 1703, approved by the prince-bishop of Trento Giovanni Michele Spaur.

In the first decades of the seventeenth century the church was enlarged and, in particular, the sacristy was built; the bell tower was erected in the first half of the following century. In 1741 it obtained the concession of the Eucharistic reservation, but limited to the summer and winter months. In 1824 it was necessary to rebuild the facade, which showed signs of subsidence.

At the beginning of the twentieth century major works raised the choir loft and opened side entrances on either side of the building; around the middle of the century Carlo Bonacina decorated the interior of the hall. In the second half of the twentieth century the nave was lengthened along the east-west axis, which made it necessary to revise the roof covering, and the facade received a new Gothic-style portal, protected by a small canopy.
