Chiesa di San Giorgio
Dated by tree rings: after 1150, the oldest in Terres.

It stands on top of the hill of the same name, above Terres. Studies of the growth rings in the wood place the first core after 1150, which makes it the oldest church in the village; the frescoes found in 1924 on the north wall date from the first decades of the 13th century.
Between 1450 and 1472, the date carved next to the Crucifixion, it was rebuilt in its present form with the enlargement of the apse, and the apse paintings were done at that time. In 1542 the construction of the vault partly covered the scene of the Annunciation. In the 1920s the fresco of San Giorgio was detached and taken to the Castello del Buonconsiglio, in Trento.
The restoration begun in 1992 removed the alterations of 1954, restoring the altar and the lime-screed floor to their original appearance.
