Church of Saints Philip and James ---

The Church of Saints Philip and James is located in Cerete Alto and overlooks a panorama that embraces the entire Val Borlezza. It was built according to a design by sculptor Andrea Fantoni, on this occasion his first experience as an architect designer, who chose the locality called 'castello' on a hilltop. It was constructed between 1711 and 1725 and consecrated only in 1736; for its construction, materials from the old parish church were reused, which stood just below, in the current Piazza Martiri della Libertà. Only the sixteenth-century chapel of the Annunciata remains here, a niche with a fresco from 1421 and the trace on the floor of the plan of the original church of Saints Philip and James. There are many works of art that can be found inside it
