The Church of Santa Caterina, in Ponte nelle Alpi, is an architectural gem whose roots date back to the 14th century. Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Piave River, it stands at the heart of an important crossroads that has been used since ancient times. The ancient name of this locality was "Caput Pontis", then "Capo di Ponte", which was changed to "Ponte nelle Alpi" by royal decree in 1867.
The first records of the church date back to the 14th century, and in 1598 it was described as being "completely frescoed". Throughout the centuries, it has undergone numerous restorations and rebuildings. Despite these modifications, the building still retains the charm of the past, with its ancient frescoes depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The main altar, made of carved and gilded wood, is a 16th-century masterpiece from a Cadorian workshop.
