Lasiz - Alpine Church of San Donato Martyr

The chapel, first mentioned in 1294, could be at least a century older. It suffered serious damage due to the earthquakes in 1511 and 1513, later renovated and reconsecrated in 1517.
The apse faces east and the façade west, with a single-light bell tower on the roof ridge. It features Romanesque characteristics: an arched construction in squared stones, with a thick wall and a cone-shaped roof covered with stone slabs and tiles; the rest of the wall is in unplastered stones. The rectangular nave is preceded by a square structure, once an atrium, with a door featuring a lintel.
Inside, along the outer walls, runs a stone bench. The apse, lit by a splayed window, has an altar with a rectangular stone table. It holds a carved wooden altar from the second half of the 17th century, similar to the gilded altars (zlati oltar) richly worked and gilded, widespread in Friulian Slavia from Slovenian workshops. Recent surveys done on the walls have revealed fragments both in the apse and on the right and rear walls. Sheets of paper on the base of a fresco depicting the Apostles bearing writings in Gothic characters (phrases of the Creed, which in ancient form was divided into twelve verses, each attributed to an Apostle) were the most interesting paintings discovered. Other fresco fragments on the walls represent a Great Resurrection of Bodies, Episodes from the Old and New Testaments, and Last Judgment.
The church is included in the “Path of the 44 Votive Churches” of the Natisone Valleys.
