Walking among the imposing scenarios of the Dolomites, you will encounter, from time to time, mystical sites filled with spirituality. A tour of Cortina’s churches is the perfect occasion to rediscover the harmonious connection between art, spirituality and nature. If you  enter a church of Ampezzo you feel the deep tie between culture and the mountain environment.

Cortina’s true and most renowned symbol is the steeple of the church dedicated to Saints Filippo and Giacomo. Inside the church, constructed by the architect Promperg, the visitors can find the works of famous artists, among which the sculptor Andrea Brustolon and the painters Francesco A. Zeiler and Giuseppe Zanchi. The church also hosts religious music concerts and every Sunday it becomes the stage for the performances of the Schola Cantorum, the polyphonic choir founded in 1882.
Cortina is also the location of the Santuario della Beata Vergine della Difesa constructed in 1480, famous for the sculptures of the rococo period and the frescos of the artist Francesco A. Zeiler.
In the church of the Holy Trinity of Majon, close to the Castel de Zanna castle, visitors may admire the painting of the Santissima Trinità in Trono, (literally “Holy Trinity on the Throne”), attributed to Jacopo Negretti, or pause to admire the majestic wooden altars.
Following the old road which used to connect Venice and the plains to the bordering countries beyond the Alps, it is possible to visit the church of Saint Nicolò in the town of Ospitale, the church of Saint Candido in Campo di Sopra, and the church of Saint Rocco in Zuel.
