Among the testimonies of the Christian faith of our forefathers, the architectural structures known as "Calvaries" certainly deserve special attention. Between the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, several of these structures were built in our area, often next to churches or other sacred places. Since 1830, Malborghetto has also been able to boast its "Calvaries", located on a small spur behind the church and called "Monte Tabor". Shortly after taking the narrow path to the right of the town hall, you come to the chapel dedicated to St. Anne. Then the climb begins, which soon leads to the seven small chapels. Each of these houses two polychrome bas-reliefs depicting the Stations of the Cross. The chapels have recently been restored. They are equipped with a wrought iron grille, a wooden shingle roof and a wooden kneeler. At the top of the mountain, on a grassy square, there is a large chapel with a facade made of three arches. Inside there is an altar on which a wooden crucifixion group is mounted.

From the little church there are three ways to get back down to the village:

1. Walk back along the Stations of the Cross.

2. On the "Animalborghetto" educational trail for children, which you reach below the meadow in front of the church at the small wooden house.

3. On the forest road near the church that leads down to the village.
