Montiglio's parish church, begun in 1580 and opened for worship in 1614. Inside are a carved wooden pulpit of 1785, an inlaid white-marble high altar of 1809 and the Ivaldi brothers' 1840 frescoes, with Pietro Ivaldi's altarpiece of the Madonna della Pace; a medieval palazzo with original mullioned windows stands opposite.
