A center of Etruscan origin, according to tradition, in Roman times it was called BENACUM and rose to become the capital of the Brescian Riviera of Lake Garda. It experienced a period of splendor between the 10th and 13th centuries, thanks to a series of privileges granted first by Otto I, then by Frederick Barbarossa and Robert of Anjou, king of Sicily. Especially thanks to Barbarossa it obtained partial autonomy, while in 1377 it lost its role as capital of the Riviera, according to the will of Beatrice della Scala, who moved the capital of the "Magnifica Patria" to Salò. Under Venetian rule it fell under the territorial ambit of the Quadra di Maderno. Its artistic heritage is particularly rich: in addition to the remains of splendid floors belonging to a villa built in the Etruscan period and the monument to the Brescian statesman Giuseppe Zanardelli, one can admire the 17th-century Palazzo Mafizzoli, the sumptuous "Serraglio" palace, and several buildings of sacred architecture. These include the sanctuary of the Madonna del Benaco, which existed as early as the 5th century, the church of Ss. Peter and Paul, built at the end of the 16th century and commissioned by S. Carlo Borromeo, the parish church of Sant'Ercolano, and the church of S. Bartolomeo.
