Getting around
The church of San Paolo, built in 1428 where once stood the ancient castle of the Marenzi's, has a single nave that can be visited without obstacles. To access the altar, it is necessary to pass 1 step (14 cm high). A wonderful fresco, which depicts the Pietà and the saints Cosma and Damiano inside a fake architecture that imitates a wooden triptych, serves as an altarpiece. Another interesting fresco from the early 16th century, on the right-hand wall, depicts "St. Peter and St. Paul". The church has benches (seat height: 47 cm).
