Santa Maria Annunziata, Salò

Santa Maria Annunziata (Italian: Chiesa di Santa Maria Annunziata; Duomo di Salò) is the main religious building (duomo) of the town of Salò, Italy.

The construction of the church, dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, was begun in 1453 by the architect Filippo delle Vacche of Caravaggio, Lombardy.

It is built in the Late Gothic style to replace the previous edifice that stood at the site.

The church preserves within it paintings by Romanino, Moretto da Brescia, Zenone Veronese and Paolo Veneziano.

The main entrance into the church is through the great portal executed between 1506 and 1508 by Gasparo Cairano and Antonio Mangiacavalli, who were among the chief exponents of Renaissance sculpture in Brescia.
