Saint Francis Roadside Shrine at Santissima
This elegant cylindrical structure was erected by the Franciscans in 1639 (see the date carved in the architrave). The friars inhabited the nearby Convent till 1769, when they were made to leave by the Republic of Venice. The structure had a portico and an octagonal vault culminating with an iron cross.The ancient statues, a specimen of which is probably the one preserved in the vestry, have been recently replaced with a wooden statue of St Francis. Devotees used to come here on pilgrimage and covered the steep path up to the shrine on bended knees to ask St Francis for favours.
