In 1298 the two hermits Dietrico and Lurico were allowed to form a confraternity on the top of Mount Muris, where there was already a church dedicated to San Giovanni. During the First World War the building was destroyed by a cannon shot and reconstruction began only after the Second World War. The new church, consecrated in 1947, was dedicated to the Alpini of the Julia division, and subsequently in 1952 to those of the Gemona battalion, who died in the sinking of the Galilee ship. Destroyed after the 1976 Friuli earthquake, the church was rebuilt maintaining its original thirteenth-century appearance.
A short distance from the church is the hermitage. In 1312 a Lucio from Monte di Ragogna is mentioned in a contract of sale of Bertoldo di Moravia. During the fifteenth century, a brotherhood of hermits was found near the church, which received continuous donations and goods from the community of Ragogna. On the site there is a belvedere from which you can see the hilly area, the Tagliamento river and the surrounding mountains.
