Church of St. Nicholas

Monteacuto this charming village is located at an altitude of 913 m. and is a fraction of the municipality of Lizzano in Belvedere. Incredibly preserved, it offers the visitor ancient lanes and a splendid panorama. The village is perched on a small summit; it was always considered strategically important. The village was part of a medieval defensive system: there was a fortress with mighty walls and the residence of the castellan, located in the building next to the bell tower. In the highest part there is the church of San Nicolò, datable around the seventeenth century, but of more ancient origins. Inside you can admire the altarpiece painted by Pietro Faccini depicting the "Trinity with Saints Nicolò, Giacomo and Lorenzo" and a wooden crucifix attributed to Andrea Brustoloni, a famous Venetian sculptor of the 1700s.

This beautiful square of the Church of San Nicolò wrapped in silence that helps contemplation. Framed by beautiful bunches of hydrangeas.

Beautiful little church on the top of a hamlet near Lizzano in Belvedere. Highly recommended the country to visit with a tour for its characteristic streets. 5 stars deserved both in Monteacuto and in its little church.

Very beautiful

Worth a visit for the views, beautiful.
