The Church of S. Ambrogio that overlooks the entire valley, was terminated in 1781 to the project of a student of Magnocavalli, but presents all the typical features of the ecclesial baroque architecture of Monferrato. The facade is particularly worthy of note for the sinuous nature of its lines accentuated by the light that illuminates it at every hour of the day.

Note: the baroque style of the church is not redundant of decor and details; it is rather the crystallization, in brick masonry, of powerful lines in movement.
From the churchyard, you can enjoy an incomparable view over the valley.


Artworks and objects inside: Fine high altar in multicoloured marble. Of interest are also the paintings " Il matrimonio celeste di S. Caterina da Siena con Gesù risorto" by Orsola Caccia, “la Gloria di S. Francesco Saverio" and in the choir a powerful "Sant'Ambrogio", but hidden by the organ donated in 1968 by the teacher Angelo Surbone. The fresco of the Baptistery and the drawing for the tabernacle door ("Agnus Dei") are by Mario Surbone.
