Municipality Of Santa Brigida

Via Dei Pascoli, 2A
Santa Brigida


Description

Consisting of numerous hamlets, Colla, Bindo, Foppa, Carale, Cugno, Gerro, Taleggio, Monticello and Caprile Superiore, the municipal territory is set in a high-profile naturalistic context. The numerous woods interspersed with meadows encourage excursions, which are suitable for all needs, both for demanding and expert users and for simple walks.
Of particular importance is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows. Dating back to the XI-XII century and renovated two centuries later, it was consecrated by St. Charles Borromeo in 1566, and for many years it was the religious place of reference for the town and the neighbouring ones, playing the role of parish church until the construction of the new church. Inside there are thick paintings, among which a cycle of frescoes, stuccoes and polychrome marbles stands out.
The new parish church, naturally dedicated to St. Bridget, was built in the 19th century and has some works coming from the old parish. Inside, the organ, produced by Adeodato Bossi, is beautifully displayed.
