Chiesa di Sant'Orsola, Gothic church in Vigo di Cadore, Italy.

The church features a rectangular layout with a gabled facade, protective roof, and complete wall frescoes depicting religious scenes and narratives.

Ainardo da Vigo commissioned the construction of this religious building between 1313 and 1321 as a funeral chapel for his family.

The interior walls display a remarkable series of 14th-century frescoes narrating the story of Saint Ursula through ten detailed scenes.

The wooden altar, crafted in 1541 by Michael Parth, combines Renaissance style with Austrian Gothic elements typical of Cadore regional preferences.

The ceiling incorporates intense blue pigments from lapis lazuli stone and golden stars, similar to the decoration in Padua's Scrovegni Chapel.
