    The oratory of San Lorenzo a Fraggio was built in 1493 and represents an important testimony to the construction technique of the small mountain oratories in the 15th century.

    The layout is traditional with an apse facing east, while the churchyard consists of a large grassy surface that offers a spectacular view.

    The building is made of limestone masonry, while the roof is typical of the area in "Piode".

    The façade, partially plastered, has a massive stone entrance portal with a wooden door surmounted by a small rose window.

    The Oratory of San Lorenzo was decorated with frescoes, most of which have now been lost, except for some parts of the martyrdom of San Lorenzo.

    The particular building typology of Val Taleggio is distinguished by the heavy "Piode" roof, i.e. limestone slabs up to eight centimeters thick, thicker than those used in other areas.

    This technique was used without distinction to create small stables in pastures or houses and also churches or large buildings.

    The roof was made with a frame of wooden trusses connected to circular section beams, on which the smaller frame was placed.

    Thick slabs of local stone were placed on top, dry-laid in overlapping rows.
