Madonna di Taviele

The small church, located in the middle of fields east of the village of Madrisio, in the municipality of Fagagna, is bordered by a small wall whose entrance is marked by two pinnacles where some stones bear the date 1656.

Following excavations inside the church, a 13th-century origin was found for the early church, which was later destroyed in the Friuli earthquake of 1348 and rebuilt in 1407. After the 1511 Friuli earthquake, the church was enlarged with the addition of a cross-vaulted side aisle. The facade is simple and is surmounted by a single-lancet bell window. Inside the building is walled a bas-relief, depicting two heads, dating from Roman times, perhaps the first century AD. Above the main portal are fragments of a fresco depicting the Madonna, dating from the 13th century and whose author was still linked to Byzantine circles. To the left is another fresco with the Annunciation and two offerers, dating from 1519.

Along the outer perimeter is a building dating back to 1501, now ruined, which served as a hermit refuge.
