4. An immersion in spirituality and art at the Church of San Gaudenzio

Among the 10 things to do and see in Morro d’Alba, the Church of San Gaudenzio is a must-visit, being one of the most important religious attractions in the village.

Located opposite the Town Hall, this 18th-century church stands within the castle walls and connects to La Scarpa, which winds around the castle. Inside San Gaudenzio, visitors can admire numerous works of art, including valuable paintings and sculptures. Among these is a 1596 altarpiece by Ercole Ramazzani (a student of Lorenzo Lotto) dedicated to Saint Agatha.

The church, expanded in the 18th century in a neoclassical style, has a Latin cross plan with a single nave and seven altars. In the apse and nave, the pilasters are decorated with gilded grotesques, the columns feature Corinthian capitals, and the floor is made of white and pink stone.

The church is a place of peace and spirituality, where one can pause for prayer or reflect on life. Don’t miss this remarkable site!
