Chiesa di Santo Stefano
It was consecrated in 1345 as the church of Santa Maria.

Exactly when it was built is not documented, but it dates to the first half of the fourteenth century; the solemn consecration was celebrated in 1345 and the original dedication was to Santa Maria. The change of title came later, and no certain dates exist for that either: the pastoral visit of 1579 records the dedication to Santo Stefano with certainty, so the change took place before then.
In 1542, about two centuries after the consecration, the church was enlarged and enriched with fresco decoration. In 1738 it was raised to primissaria tied to the basilica of the Santi Martiri di Sanzeno, and further dignities came slowly: curacy in 1858, eucharistic custody in 1863, baptismal font in 1875.
The first major work of the twentieth century dates to 1913, a year before the outbreak of the war, and extended the nave with a side chapel. The church was raised to parish status in 1950.
