Religious holidays in the Dolomites between churches, sanctuaries and abbeys
For the lovers of history, art and religion, the valleys and mountains of South Tyrol, Trentino and Bellunese host many churches, abbeys and sanctuaries. Romanesque churches, gothic bell towers that stand out against the blue sky of Dolomites, millennial places of worship that often contain and store remarkable works of art, handmade frescoes and altars.
