Church from 1308, rebuilt in the 17th century

It dates back to 1308 and was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century by the Bassano architect Giovanni Miazzi who designed it after meeting Francesco Maria Preti. According to tradition, it was born with the main altar oriented to the east and with the main entrance to the west but, with the eighteenth-century renovation, the main façade, inaugurated in 1813, was built towards the square, so that the church has a north-south orientation and a singular plan: it is in fact developed in width rather than in length as required by canonical schemes and norms.
