Kroatien Bike Tour/ Treviso 2xPIP

On the way through Treviso
The Oratory of Santa Filomena was built in 1908 in honour of the Virgin and Martyr Filomena. The octagonal plan of the oratory is remarkable, and an altar in polychrome marble adorns the interior.

I am always fascinated by the wrought ironwork on the balcony railings.
