You can't miss this ancient church; it's right by the harbourside.

Santa Tecla dates from the 1400s, with a rather lovely rose window, but was enlarged and restored in the 1700s. It's interior reflects that later recreation , but recent restorations have uncovered some Medieval frescoes so it is worth entering to see those.

I can find out little more of the church's history, but do look round the back as you walk up into Torno itself. You'll see some classic early Medieval windows.

Address: Harbourside Torno
Directions: If you arrive by boat the church is in front of you. I f you arrive by car, park in the upper part of the village and walk down to the harbour (signed).

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
