It stands in the hamlet of Pez and is the oldest church in Cles: it dates from the 12th century and already appears in December 1191, in a deed by which Conrad II, Bishop of Trento, invests two brothers with properties located next to the apse of the chapel of San Vigilio.

It preserves 14th-century frescoes by Giovanni da Volpino, the same hand to which the fragments on the parish church of Magras are attributed. The portal is Renaissance, the roof has steep pitches covered with wooden shingles, and the spired bell tower is partly set into the walls at the level of the presbytery.

Today in the valleys

Just a moment...

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
