Parish Church of Santa Margherita (Santa Margherita del Gruagno)

Friuli Collinare - Parish Church of Santa Margherita (Santa Margherita del Gruagno)
Located in the fortified village that shared its name and dedicated to St. Margaret, this parish church was built on a previous chapel dedicated to St. Sabida, of which it incorporated its structures (recognizable in the hexagonal crypt). The facade, built in exposed stones, is characterized by a worked rose window that hints to the Romanesque origin of the building. The building  houses several works of art, among which the sculptures are remembered for importance and, in particular, a Pantocrator (Christ's Blessing) of the 13th century, a baptismal font that can be attributed to the 11th-12th centuries (although some experts date it back to the 10th century) and a Greek cross affixed to the walls of the 18th century apse.
