San Pietro in Carnia, Gothic church in Zuglio, Italy.
San Pietro in Carnia is a Gothic church in Zuglio set on a hillside near the Bût stream with a simple interior layout. It contains a single nave with three altars and features a Romanesque mullioned window that remains part of its design.
The church was built in 1312 under the commission of the Patriarch of Aquileia Ottobuono di Razzi and replaced an earlier place of worship. The former structure had been destroyed in the 8th century by outside forces.
The church holds Renaissance woodcarvings and a baroque altarpiece dedicated to Saint Anthony the Abbot that reflect the area's artistic heritage. These pieces show how local faith and craftsmanship evolved together over time.
The church is open to visitors and continues to serve as an active place of worship and cultural venue. It is worth checking local conditions before visiting since it hosts religious services and events that may affect access.
During Ascension Day celebrations, parishes from surrounding areas bring their crosses to this mother church in a special ceremony. This tradition demonstrates how the church remains central to the spiritual life of the entire valley.
