Built in two stages (the plan has changed in the meantime!), between 1777 and 1826, this church in the Sardinian city was at the centre of the religious struggles between Catholics and radicals. It was in 1921 that the Roman Catholics recovered it. Musical treasures to discover: the church's carillon is one of the most important in Switzerland, in terms of number of bells and the historical organ dating from 1832 and rebuilt in 2010. Be discreet during the services. The Feast of the Holy Cross is on September 14.

Honnêtement, il n'y a pas de quoi sauter en l'air ou tomber à la renverse d'admiration.
Certes, les volumes sont agréables et l'église ferme harmonieusement le côté ouest de la Place du Marché. Mais quand on s'approche, tout se gâte, notamment parce que - comme presque toujours en Suisse - la recherche quasi-névrotique du " poutzé " (= plus que propre en Helvétie) a pour conséquence une restauration sans aucun goût, calamiteuse dans le cadre de laquelle on applique sur les murs un crépi de banlieue style " Maison Phénix " au lieu d'un enduit à l'ancienne. Le résultat est un aspect sec et faux.
