Abbey of Leno
Leno, Italy
The Abbey of Leno, or Badia leonense, was an ancient Benedictine monastic complex founded in 758 by the Lombard king Desiderius in the territory of the present-day town of Leno, in the Lower Brescian region. It was demolished by order of the Vicinia of Leno in 1783, with authorization from the Senate of Venice, so that the materials could be used in the construction of the new parish church and the villa of the Dossi family. Today only stone fragments of the ancient abbey remain, largely preserved in the Brescian museum of Santa Giulia, while burial mounds were found on site as a result of archaeological excavations held in 2003 by the Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Lombardy.
