Chiesetta San Marco

Ex Chiesetta San Marco

Via San Marco,9 , Marostica - 36063

Built by the community of Marostica in 1450 on a site where there was a building cointaining a "mangle" (a kind of war machine capable of throwing stones and incendiary material during sieges). It is a testimony of the communitiy's devotion to the Serenissima Republic of Venice.

The facade of the church is linear and a small bell tower with a double aedicule stands on it. The interior is characterised by a single room, an apse with a square plan and a cross vault. It originally had three altars and was enriched by a canvas, now disappeared, depicting the "Circumcision of the Lord" attributed by G. B. Verci to Jacopo Dal Ponte, called the Bassano (about 1510 - 1592).

During the Venetian age (1404-1797), every year, on the day of the festivity of Saint Mark, patron saint of notaries, the church was the destination of a solemn procession, in which notaries, people, the clergy and the mayor himself participated. The ceremony ended with a Holy Mass in the Parish Church of Santa Maria. The Church decayed in the last two centuries and ceased to be a place of worship. Later it was also used as a barracks/materials depot of the fire brigade. Restored between 1988 and 1995, it is currently used as a multipurpose hall.
