Pieve di San Lorenzo

The stone church with its octagonal baptistery stands on a rocky elevation above the Dora Baltea river, featuring local stone walls and slate roofs.

The religious complex dates from the second half of the 9th century and includes defensive structures added during the 10th century for protection.

The interior walls display multiple fresco cycles painted between the 13th and 15th centuries, depicting religious scenes including the Last Judgment.

Visitors can access the church from mid-March to mid-October on Sundays between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

The church sits among terraced vineyards supported by white-painted stone columns called tupiun, characteristic of this region.
