Chiesa di San Gregorio Magno
Once ‘outside the city walls’ because it was built beyond the castle moat. This church has been transformed during the centuries , the last change was in the XVIII century  when the church “was turned” (the presbytery was moved to the entrance side) and was added a monumental staircase to connect the entrance to the new roadway. Inside you can admire an altarpiece of Durante Nobili from Caldarola, a pupil of Lotto and an interesting picture of G.B. Fagiani depicting Mogliano as it appeared in the XVIII century.
