St. Valentin

The Saint Valentine church stands on a grassy slope with views extending to the Dolomites and features detailed frescoes inside its stone walls.

The church's first documented mention dates to 1244, although its construction period remains undetermined according to historical records.

The interior contains 14th and 15th-century frescoes depicting the Three Kings greeting baby Jesus with the Dolomite mountains in the background.

Visitors need to make appointments for interior tours, while the exterior remains accessible through marked hiking paths from the Seis parking area.

Local folklore tells of a buried bell discovered by a bull near the church, which villagers rang during storms to ward off perceived witch spells.
