Chiesa della Conversione di San Paolo
In 1232 the bishop ordered Revò to send someone to administer the sacraments.

The small chapel of Marcena is mentioned for the first time, and indirectly, in 1232: the prince-bishop of Trento Aldrighetto Campo instructed the pieve of Revò to send clergy to Marcena to administer the sacraments there. The building was enlarged in the first half of the 14th century and in the following century partly rebuilt in late Gothic style, with a large fresco of San Cristoforo on the bell tower. The solemn consecration was celebrated in 1413 by Corrado Eisenhut, and in 1470 one of the side altars was dedicated to San Sebastiano.
Towards the end of that same century the medieval church was no longer sufficient for the grown population, and a new one was begun. The three altars were blessed while the building site was still open, and in 1514 the reconstruction was finished; the solemn consecration was celebrated in 1518 by the suffragan bishop Michele Iorba. In 1537 the dedication changed, becoming one to San Paolo.
In the 17th century the south façade was decorated with the fresco of San Paolo, and in the following century the wooden pulpit arrived. The organ in the choir loft dates from 1763 and three years later the bell tower received its conical upper part. The church was granted parish status in 1911.
