San Giacomo dell'Orio
San Giacomo dell'Orio and its Romanesque Campanile date back in their present form to the 16th century. The Presbytery, which has a richly carved ceiling, was not added until later. The alter-piece, "Sacred Conversation" (1546), by Lorenzo Lotto is especially interesting. The Old Sacristy contains works by Palma Giovane.

The New Sacristy is situated outside the building and has fine ceiling paintings by Paolo Veronese.

San Simeone Piccolo
Opposite the rail station stands the Church of San Simeone Piccolo, its dome covered in a green patina. The church was built in 1718-38 by Giovanni Scalfurotto on the site of the medieval church of SS Simeone e Guida. The Late Baroque architecture is modeled on the Pantheon in Rome, but also has Classical Renaissance features. A broad flight of steps leads up to the Palladian pillared portico which gives access to the actual church. Inside can be seen a "Pieta" by J. Palma Giovane.
