Chiesa di San Marco

The first place of worship dedicated to Saint Mark in Mollaro was visited by the envoys of Bernardo Clesio on 23 June 1537, and described as a small church with a single altar, that of its patron saint. By 1579 there were three altars, including those of Saint Lucy and Saint Stephen. In the first half of the 17th century the frescoes and the sacristy were added; by 1723 the bell tower, and then two bells cast in Bressanone and Sarnonico.

In the second half of the 18th century the church was renovated, and in 1774 the 17th-century frescoes were whitewashed over; in 1787 it was raised to the status of primissaria. Between 1850 and 1852 the old building, no longer adequate for the faithful, was demolished entirely and rebuilt larger on the same site. The new church was consecrated on 22 August 1865, and two years later it became a curacy of the parish church of Torra, the church of Sant'Eusebio.

The two old bells were replaced in the second half of the 19th century by three bronze bells from the Chiappani foundry of Trento, and at the beginning of the following century the whole bell tower was renovated. Then came the war: two of the three bells were requisitioned by the Austrians, and in the 1920s they had to be recast.
