An interesting baroque example, it was built by the inhabitants of the districts of Lera and Fontana as a votive sign for having spared the town from the plague that struck the Trentino in the first quarter of the seventeenth century. Its altars all in local marble and the bell tower are the work of Teodoro Benedetti di Castione (1768).
- Archpriest Church of Saints Peter and Paul (in the district of Vigo). Rich in six altars, the church conceals the crypt of San Giovanni, testimony of a primitive cult building.

Inside the church there is the oldest organ of Trentino, dating from the eighteenth century.
