The Sanctuary of Saints Martyrs Victor and Corona, located on a rocky spur of Mount Miesna, overlooking the hamlet of Anzù, houses the relics of the city's patrons. Founded in 1096 by the powerful imperial feudal lord Giovanni da Vidor, it was modified in the 12th century and incorporated into a fortified system. Its defensive function ceased in the early 15th century when Venice ordered the demolition of the castles. At the end of the 15th century, the Fiesole monks of Saint Jerome built a convent next to the church. In 1669, the Somaschi fathers took over, expanding the convent and erecting the Stations of the Cross in the woods. Suppressed by the Venetian Republic in 1767, the monastery was governed by the Minor Franciscans from 1852 to 1878. The monumental access staircase and the semicircular apse, works by Giuseppe Segusini, date back to this period.

Inside, the oldest frescoes depicting Saint Peter and Saint Paul on the pillars date back to the 12th – 13th centuries. Three cycles of 14th-century paintings can also be distinguished, attributable to the Giottesque school and to those of Tomaso da Modena and Vitale da Bologna. Noteworthy are the tomb of the martyrs Victor and Corona, a marble statue of Saint Victor, and the late Gothic ciborium. In the cloister, one can see the frescoed lunette from the 1600s depicting the Miracles of Saint Victor.

In the months of July, August, and September, free guided tours on Sundays from 3 PM to 5 PM.
