The Sanctuary of the
Martyrs Vittore and
Corona, situated on
a rocky outcrop of
Monte Miesna,
dominating the
village of Anzù,
preserves the relics
of the patron saints
of the town. It was
founded in 1096 by
the powerful
imperial feudatory
Giovanni da Vidor,
and in the 12th
century protective
fortifications were
added. Its defensive
role came to an end
in the early 15th
century when castles
were demolished on
the orders of the
Venetian Republic. |

At the
end of
the 15th
century
the
Fiesolani
friars
of San
Gerolamo
built a
convent
next to
the
church.
In 1669
the
Somaschi
fathers
took
over,
enlarged
the
convent,
and
erected
the
Stations
of the
Cross in
the
wood.
After
its
suppression
by the
Venetian
Republic
in 1767,
the
monastery
was
maintained
by
Franciscan
friars
between
1852 and
1878.
The
monumental
flights
of steps
and the
semicircular
apse by
Giuseppe
Segusini
date
from
this
period. |

The oldest frescos in the church, those on the pillars representing St. Peter and St. Paul, date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Three cycles of 14th century paintings in the church are ascribed respectively to the school of Giotto and to the schools of Tomaso da Modena and Vitale da Bologna. |

Also of note are the ark of the martyrs Vittore and Corona, a marble stature of San Vittore, and a late gothic ciborium. In the cloister the lunettes contain frescos of the Miracles of San Vittore. |
