Main sights

The most important building is the church of San Pietro di Antiochia, which has frescoes dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, and paintings by Girolamo Romanino (a Madonna and Child), Zenon Veronese (Deposition) and other artists of the Venetian school. The church was partially restored during the first half of the 18th century.

Sights in Carzago include the parish church of San Lorenzo, which holds paintings by Gallina and Cossali, and the remains of a medieval castle whose four towers have remained visible to this day.
