In the heart of the territory, the Church of the Madonna del Carmine del Pilastro represents a precious testimony of faith and art since the 16th century. The first document attesting to its existence dates back to 1536, when a bishop's visit confirmed that the church had already been built and consecrated a few years earlier.
The building, of simple classical architecture, presents itself today with a rectangular plan and a single nave, capable of conveying an intimate and intimate atmosphere. Inside, there are three altars: the main one, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Assumed, adorned with an 18th-century canvas; and the side altar dedicated to the Madonna del Carmine, rebuilt in the 18th century in Baroque style.
Once embellished with a precious “double painting” from the 17th century, stolen in 1978, now replaced by a faithful reproduction, the place still retains its strong devotional identity intact.
The Church of the Pilastro is an ideal stop for those who wish to discover an authentic corner of spirituality, history, and art in the territory of Bassa Padovana.
