Data Point related to: ELEMENT
Holy Trinity Sanctuary - Santissima
The original medieval church was rebuilt and enlarged at the end of the 16th century when a Franciscan Convent was annexed. The Friars settled in the area to discipline the locals' intense wild devotion, fed by alleged miraculous healings and favours regarding fecundity and fertility. The Franciscans stayed on till 1769, when they were made to leave by the Republic of Venice. As a consequence the Convent gradually collapsed. The Sanctuary houses a few well-preserved works of art such as the superb wooden icon, representing 'The Holy Trinity' ,carved and painted by Domenico da Tolmezzo, dated 1494. In the 17th century the icon was inscribed within a sumptuous wooden altar. Excellent 16th and 17th century frescoes and paintings decorate the inside, together with valuable marble and wooden altars, a memorial plaque in memory of Count Giovanni Battista di Polcenigo (1642), ad a few interesting wooden heads from an ancient Piety, once housed in the Crypt, that now can be admired under the high altar.
