The village of Celarda has ancient origins, probably late Roman or Lombard when it was a defensive settlement controlling the Piave River. The church of San Benedetto is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1386, and its history is closely linked to that of the nearby Sanctuary of Saints Victor and Corona, to the point of becoming a sort of branch of it at the end of the 15th century.
Its history is reconstructed, like that of many other churches, from the minutes drafted during the visits that the bishop and his secretaries made periodically to check the condition of the buildings, altars, works of art, and sacred furnishings; these are important documents that provide a sort of snapshot of the structure. At the end of the 16th century, in fact, the church of San Benedetto is described as lacking necessary liturgical furnishings, equipped with a single very old altarpiece and with frescoes decorating its walls, while during the 17th century, the nave is enlarged, the frescoes are covered which will only be rediscovered with recent restorations, the main altar is created, and the two side altars are carved by master Antonio da Corso.
