Church of Saint John the Evangelist
The Church of Saint John the Evangelist is the main church of Masate, located in the Metropolitan City and Archdiocese of Milan, and it belongs to the deanery of Trezzo sull’Adda.
The current church was built in the first half of the nineteenth century to replace the older church, which was become too small for the growing number of worshippers. The first stone was laid in 1836, and the church was consecrated on June 5, 1840, by the Archbishop Karl Kajetan von Gaisruck.
Externally, you can observe an elegant neoclassical design, with corinthian semi-columns and closed by a pediment on the top. Beside the church stands the bell tower, built between 1909 and 1911.
The single nave inside the church is covered by a dome hold by twelve columns and a semicircular apse closed the presbytery.
