Discover Masi – holiday apartment in Masi among churches and along the route

Masi combines sacred local history with a tourism and cultural route and regional cultural and landscape connections. Churches and oratories give the town specific historical themes; the route and individual places in the wider surrounding region broaden the perspective.

The churches of Masi and their traces through time

The first Chiesa di San Bartolomeo Apostolo in Masi was founded in 1358 near the left bank of the River Adige. Until 1489, it also included the S. Antonio hospice for travellers. The present-day Chiesa di San Bartolomeo Apostolo was consecrated on 22 October 1950. This church therefore brings together a medieval foundation and the inauguration of the present-day building in the 20th century.

Two ecclesiastical references bearing the name San Felice

The Armenian Chiesa armena di San Felice stands within an agricultural estate in Masi. The Chiesetta di San Felice is one of the older architectural monuments that have been partially preserved in Masi. This means that two different ecclesiastical references bearing the name San Felice can be found in the town.

The Oratorio del Cristo d’Oro on the Adige

The Oratorio del Cristo d’Oro, a small sacred building, stands near the embankment on the River Adige. Built in the 16th century, the Oratorio initially served the Confraternita dei Disciplinati, which was later known as the “Battù”. Its corners feature 16th-century rusticated masonry; at the entrance there is a semicircular window, and it also has a classical-style pediment. Its construction period, former affiliation and architectural forms come together here in a single historic building.
