Church of San Gottardo

San Gottardo is the church in the hamlet of Oro. Built in the sixteenth century, the ancient missal with the annotation of the destruction, in 1341, of the Prepositural church of Santi Nazaro e Celso due to a violent flood of the River Pioverna  was found here.

The façade is simple, gabled, with a central stone portal surmounted by a large thermal window; on the right side it is flanked by a small building that houses the sacristy on the ground floor and includes a small bell tower. Internally, the nave ends in the presbytery where there is an eighteenth-century altarpiece depicting the Pietà and Saints Gottardo and Benedetto, on the high altar, framed by an aedicule with columns, frieze and marble tympanum, and flanked by two other contemporary paintings depicting Saints Lucia and Caterina da Siena on one side and San Fermo on the other.
