The parish church of Elva is a small Sistine Chapel. Inside it houses a cycle of frescoes by the Master of Elva, the Flemish painter Hans Clemer. It is always open, but if it is closed, Locanda Occitana has the keys and makes them available to interested parties.

At the GTA small church with stunning frescoes from the late 15th Century. They cover the entire choir room, the abundance is impressive, the details are full of life and sometimes drastic.

Next to the church Posto Tappa the GTA.

A church worth seeing with frescoes by the Flemish painter Hans Klemer. The frescoes were created around 1490.
