San Liberale di Pedeserva Church
Location: loc. S. Liberale di Pedeserva - Municipality of Belluno
Access: from Pedeserva country hamlet, turn left and follow the road for about 1 km; after parking the eventual car, take on the right (trail marker) a short uphill path leading to the church. Situated at about 4 km from Belluno town center, the site is also a lap of the Park thematic itinerary "Piedmont Churches".
Environmental context – Description of the site: overhanging the inhabited settlements of the eastern section of Val Belluna, on the slopes of Mt. Serva, the church lies on a small hillock at about 510m asl, outside the Park perimeter. The building enjoys an excellent landscape position and great visibility in the valley of Piave, partly endangered by the recent growth of the wood towards the valley. From the site, you can enjoy a wonderful panorama.
Building period: before the year 1000; the first documents date back to 1578.
Architectural features: oratory with a Latin cross plan, with ring crypt and raised apse. The 16th century sacristy was added in the south to the original structure dating back to the early Middle Ages. The oratory preserves precious artistic evidences.
