Church of Val
Other places of interest: Situated on the site where the “da Montanara” castle once stood, the earliest records of the building date back to the 13th century, a period when the small church served as a chapel attached to the parish church of Fregona, in the diocese of Ceneda.
The present-day structure dates back to the 16th century and has remained unchanged since then: it was during this period that the church was enriched with important works of art, such as the altarpiece of the high altar, by Pomponio Amalteo, depicting Saint Cecilia alongside other saints of local devotion, and the two paintings by Silvestro Arnosti.
On 24 October 1600, the church became an independent parish. The single-nave interior is punctuated by pilasters with stone bases, and the space is striking for the brightness of its decorations, the result of a skilful restoration carried out in 1924. The adjacent outdoor cemetery is picturesque and panoramic, offering views across the entire Po Valley.
