Descrizione

Chiesa

The only altar housed inside is one of the finest examples of a wooden altar with columns adorned with vine leaves and bunches of grapes from the 17th century still existing in Cortina. This contains a modestly made altarpiece depicting St. Juliana, St. Anthony of Padua and the Virgin and Child surrounded by angels and cherubs. S. Giuliana is also depicted in a beautiful canvas of the Venetian school, dated 1692 and placed on the right side wall, which presents the saint as a rich aristocrat, adorned with a diadem and sparkling earrings. In a glass case located on the left wall, there is an interesting wooden statue of the Virgin, called the "Madonna with pomegranate" which, although ruined by repainting, still retains the stylistic characteristics of the Gothic-style sculpture present in the Alpine area in the XVI century.
