Churches and Art in Cornedo Vicentino

The parish church of San Rocco was built after the plague as an expression of gratitude that the population had been spared the danger. In the district of Cereda, the Chiesa di S. Andrea was the first religious building to be elevated to parish church status, from the 13th century onward. Both places therefore represent different chapters in the religious history of Cornedo Vicentino.

The Chiesa di S. Sebastiano was probably built in 1469 at the site where the former castle of Cornedo presumably stood. It stands on the hill of the same name above Cornedo; its large forecourt offers a view across the valley. Inside the church is a partially gilded wooden sculpture of the Madonna with Jesus, also known as the enthroned Madonna, dating from 1514.

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Giovanni Battista also provides its own historical accent: it was consecrated on 11 September 1966. Inside is a depiction of the birth of John the Baptist by Alessandro Maganza.

Museums, Palaces and Mountain Landscapes

In the immediate vicinity of Cornedo Vicentino are Sala dei Fossili, a museum, and Punto panoramico “Castello”, a viewpoint. The surrounding area also includes Villa Piovene da Schio and Villa Trissino Marzotto, each a palace, as well as Tessaro, a museum.

The landscape includes Monte Civillina, a mountain, as well as Monte Campetto and Monte Calvarina, each a peak. L'UOMO DELLA ROCCIA offers a special connection between the natural environment and the past: archaeological excavations near it between 2013 and 2019 showed that the natural amphitheatre into which the large stone column is integrated had been inhabited since the Neolithic period.
