What will be visited?
THE PALACES
At the Palazzo Pretorio, the seat of the city's political power, it will be possible to visit the Hall of Armorial Bearings and nearby, at the Palazzo della Ragione, the Council Hall. The doors will also be opened to an ancient city institution, the Monte di Pietà, with the evocative rooms of the pawnshop and the safe.
THE CITY CHURCHES
In via Mezzaterra, the Church of San Giacomo Maggiore with numerous works to discover; near Port’Oria, the ancient Church of the Most Holy Trinity, the only survivor of the fire of 1510, which preserves a rare cycle of 15th-century frescoes inside; the Baptistery, once dedicated to San Lorenzo, with the ancient baptismal font; the Cathedral of San Pietro with its numerous votive chapels and the crypt.
THE CHURCHES OF THE REGION
Outside the city walls, in Anzù, it will be possible to visit the Sanctuary of Saints Martyrs Vittore and Corona, elevated to Minor Basilica in 2002, rich in cycles of frescoes that tell its millennial history. This site is complemented by four churches in the municipal area: the Church of San Paolo, in the eponymous neighborhood, currently undergoing a recovery project thanks to the work of volunteers; the Church of San Benedetto in Celarda, immersed in nature just a few steps from the Vincheto nature reserve; the Church of San Marcello in Umin, which preserves some of the oldest frescoes in the area; finally, the new addition for 2025, the Church of San Fermo in Villaga, recently restored thanks to significant funding.
