EN: The church of Ponte Treas stands on a hill about 300 meters north of the bridge that gives the village its name.
The church was built in the 15th century and originally had three naves. In the 17th century the naves were combined into one room and in the 18th century the church was extended to the east.
There are four side chapels on the sides of the nave. The nave is closed off in the east by a semicircular chancel. The tall square church tower is set back from the main facade at the southwest corner.
