Chiesa di San Tommaso

The first place of worship dedicated to San Tommaso in Portolo may date from a period between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. From the sixteenth century it is known for certain that a building with that dedication existed, built or rebuilt, and that in 1518 it was consecrated with a solemn ceremony. Portolo, together with Nanno, belonged to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the pieve of Tassullo.

In 1579 a pastoral visit found San Tommaso in very poor condition, and it was decided to redo the roof and strengthen the structure. It was not enough: at the beginning of the nineteenth century the building was completely rebuilt, and when the work was finished a second consecration was celebrated, performed by Francesco Saverio Luschin, Bishop of Trento. A new short cycle of restoration began in 1971.
