Saint Peter’s Hill

1 km a day to admire some spectacular views of the Lamon plateau!

The itinerary of Colle di San Pietro starts behind the Lamon Hospital and develops along a circular route that runs alongside the entire hill. Along this path, it is possible to admire some of the sacred monuments of these places.

The Church of San Pietro, the patron saint of the village, was built in the early Middle Ages and has reached us in its current simple and bare external structure due to subsequent additions. The pictorial furnishings date back to the 16th-17th centuries and include frescoes by Marco da Mel, works by Marescalchi, and seventeenth-century canvases attributable to the painter from Feltre, A. Zocco. On the right side altar, there is a work by F. Frigimelica depicting a Madonna with Child and St. John the Baptist. Recently, the Callido organ dated 1600 has been restored.

The other sacred building is the Church of San Daniele, which stands at the foot of the hill. The foundation date is uncertain, although some sources trace the reconstruction back to the early decades of the 1600s, on a previous chapel first documented in 1529. The most prominent and interesting feature of the church is the bell tower, which resembles a typically Northern European architectural style. The pictorial decoration, dismantled following the deconsecration, consists of a series of frescoes by the painter G. Moech, while at the top of the main altar is the Deposition, attributed to Frigimelica. However, to reach and visit them, it is necessary to take another path.

Along the route, there are some tables suitable for those who wish to relax or enjoy a pleasant picnic.

Finally, it is important to remember that the path is part of the ULSS 1 Km a day project, which aims to identify a 1 km route in the area that can be traveled safely to encourage health maintenance through movement and physical activity. This ensures that the dirt path is easily accessible and obstacle-free, with appropriate signs containing QR codes that link to health-related content and can be safely practiced by everyone.
