Attributable - albeit with some uncertainty - to the seventeenth century, today's building is the result of interventions and extensions that have taken place over time. It has a rectangular hall, on grounds at countryside level, with a slightly raised polygonal presbytery. The hall has a wooden truss roof, while the presbytery is characterized by a vaulted ceiling. The façade is preceded by a portico, with a square plan, closed on two sides: the main front is walled up while the left side has a round arched opening. The portal on the facade has a stone frame and is flanked by two rectangular windows. The eye, above the entrance, is partially hidden by the porch cover. A semicircular window is located above the secondary entrance, in the middle of the classroom. There are two openings in the presbytery. There is a single bell lancet window on the left side.

Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria

Highlight • Religious Site

Dating back to the fourteenth century, the church of Santa Caterina rises along the homonymous street, traveled by pilgrims during the Middle Ages. As evidence of this statement, the presence of a large portico and a fresco depicting St. Christopher, the protector of travelers. The internal environment, with a single room, is dominated by a roof with wooden trusses. The presbytery, with a square plan, is slightly raised and has a roof with ribbed vaults. The sacristy body is laterally attached to the choir. The main entrance portal is architraved, with a jutting coping at the end. To his right a small, framed, rectangular window. There are three openings in the hall: two semicircular ones on the left side and a polylobed Gothic one on the right side. On the left of the apse, partially incorporated, is the square-plan bell tower in exposed stone. On the belfry (with mullioned windows with round arches) rest a polygonal drum, with blind arches, and an onion spire (metal sheet covering). The apical element is composed of a metal cross on a support bulb.

Stone Archway to Parco Larissa and Villa Menegozzi Gardens

Highlight • Structure

...it is the passage to continue the FVG3 cycle path: it is a narrow passage, you almost don't notice it, but you just have to go from the square to the other side of the road.
Immediately you come across a beautiful stone arch that leads into the green area of Parco Larissa or Parco di Villa Menegozzi It is the garden of Palazzo Menegozzi, the large white structure that dominates the square: the little road leads to the park of the villa.
From there you continue along via dei Molini

Malnisio Dam

Highlight • Monument

The former hydroelectric power plant "Antonio Pitter" in Malnisio, located in Montereale Valcellina, represents one of the greatest examples of industrial archaeology in Italy. Inaugurated in 1905, this structure was a technological marvel that allowed St. Mark's Square in Venice to be illuminated for the first time, marking the North-East's transition to modernity. The building is striking for its monumental architecture that hides period machinery still perfectly preserved, resembling cinematic sets. Today the site is a museum and a scientific center where it is possible to retrace the journey of water descending from the mountains to be transformed into energy. Walking in the surroundings allows you to discover the old pipelines and enjoy a unique natural landscape, suspended between history and engineering.
