    The Oratory of Blessed Emerico is a small church dedicated to Saint Emeric, patron saint of young people and students. Dating back to the 12th century, the oratory has a simple but fascinating architecture, with frescoes decorating the interior, dating back to later periods. Situated in a panoramic position, it offers an enchanting view of the surrounding mountains and the Aosta Valley landscape.

    Blessed Emeric of Quart was a 12th-century Aosta Valley nobleman who chose a life of renunciation and prayer, retreating as a hermit in the woods above the present-day village of Quart. According to tradition, he lived in extreme poverty in a cave or natural shelter on the very site where the Oratory dedicated to him now stands. He was known among the population for his austerity and for the help he offered to travelers and local farmers. After his death around 1140, his retreat became a place of popular devotion, giving rise to the small oratory that preserves his memory.
