Churches Domaso

The church was built in the fifteenth century on the site of an ancient chapel dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria, presumably dating back to the twelfth century. The building was part of the Convent of the Humiliati, probably founded in the twelfth century, suppressed in 1571 and refounded in the seventeenth century by the Capuchins who built a new church dedicated to St Anthony. The order was suppressed at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the other buildings that made up the convent were used as barracks and in the twentieth century were demolished, while the church was deconsecrated and converted into a home.
The only remains left to admire of the sacred building are the gabled façade with stone portal in Renaissance style and the beautiful bell tower surmounted by a spire.
