CHURCHES
The construction of the first church dates from about 1300 AD and it is that of SANTA MARIA NASCENTE in the north of thetown. In subsequent centuries, the churches S. Antonio, S. Rocco, S. Anna in Trepalle, Addolorata di Florino, Immacolata di Lourdes in Tresenda, Addolorata in Val Federia,Beata Vergine del Caravaggio and Immacolata di Viera were built. Apart from the first, which was later consecrated as the PARISH CHURCH, all the others are small insize but full of small details that make them unique and curious to visit

Sant'Anna
[+]
Built in 1924, the austere architecture of the church is reminiscent of the Romanesque style: a longitudinal nave, polygonal apse, side
buttresses and an internal ceilingmatching the pitched roof. The gabled façade has only two windows and a small porch, with a ceramic reproduction
of the Madonna and Child by Luca della Robbia, donatedin 1960.
On the right hand side there is the bell-tower on a square base with sinuous lines rising up to a beautiful cusp. The interior hasa single nave entirely clad in larch wood and the vertical panelling extends to the ceiling right up to the roof ridge. The choir is located at the back of the chancel,partly obscured by an altarpiece and flanked by a column where the tabernacle is situated. The engraved pulpit to the left of the altar has a lacquered finish and isa relic of the original church, whose construction began in 1648 and which was demolished in the early 1900’s.
The altarpiece and the altarwere built in 1991 and reproduced in bas-relief by Fulvio Vanini. Significant episodes in the life of Christ are depicted such as the feeding of the 5000 (loaves andfish), the Resurrection of Lazarus, the Annunciation, the Last Supper, the Nativity, the Resurrection, the Assumption of Mary and the feast of All Saints
Tothe right of the side walls of the nave (starting from the back) there is a large canvas by Cocquio depicting the miracle of the multiplying of the loaves (1961).
