San Candido church culture
San Candido is not only in a beautiful natural landscape, but is also rich in cultural and historical treasures.
For example, the very famous Roman Collegiate Church, with its famous crucifixion scene, where Jesus is portrayed not as a tortured man, but as a victor over death and suffering, as the Risen Lord and the Son of God.
Next to the Collegiate Church was built the San Michele Parish Church which is, with its varied and richly decorated ornaments, a real treasure from the Baroque and Rococo.
Highly recommended are also the Franciscan Convent, the Chapel of Altötting and the Holy Sepulchre Church, which consists of 3 chapels.
