To live in Church of Saint Marco

It was erected by the community of Marostica in 1450 on a site which had previously hosted a building that sheltered a mangano, a kind of a war machine able to launch rocks and incendiary materials during
sieges. It is proof of the town’s devotion to the Republic of Venice. The façade of the church is linear and a small bell tower, with two small shrines, sits on top of it. The inside, a single chamber with an apse on a square section and a cross vault, originally displayed three altars and was enriched by a no longer existing canvas that depicted the Circumcision of Our Lord, which  G.B. Verci attributed to Jacopo Dal Ponte, known as Bassano (circa 1510–1592). During the Venetian age (1404-1797), on 25th April every year on the occasion of the celebration of Saint Mark, the patron saint of notaries, the church was the destination of a solemn procession in which notaries, people, men of the cloth and the Podestà (Governor) took part. The ceremony ended with a holy service in the Church of Santa Maria Assunta. The church decayed during the last two centuries and it ceased to be a place of worship. It was also used as barracks/material warehouse of the town fire brigade. Restored between 1988 and 1995, it is currently used as a multi-purpose community hall.
