Chiesa di Sant'Antonio

The first mention of the church of Preghena is in a testamentary document of 1384. Towards the end of the fifteenth century the medieval church was almost certainly destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in the Gothic style; in 1531, at the wish of Biagio Aliprandini, it was also extended with an external loggia in front of the façade, which is called glesiot here. From 1590 part of the cross vault of the hall was decorated with frescoes by artists of the Germanic school.

The side chapel dedicated to Sant'Antonio da Padova dates from the seventeenth century, and around the middle of that century the baptismal font and the tabernacle for the Eucharist arrived. Then a second fire destroyed the building again, and it was rebuilt in 1692. In the second half of the eighteenth century the new sacristy was built and Mattia Lampi painted the Way of the Cross of the hall; the status of curacy came in 1773, after the pieve of Livo had for a time hindered it.

In the 1950s the church was restored and extended, and the old historic façade was demolished to make room for a forward section in a modern style. On either side of the entrance are two walled-in columns that belonged to the choir gallery, demolished together with the loggia on the inner façade wall, and a rose window was opened above the south portal.
