St. Valentin Chapel, perched high above the village of Seis in the Dolomites, is a picturesque gem with a mysterious past. Built in honor of Christian martyr Saint Valentine, the chapel dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries and boasts stunning frescoes both inside and out. Legend has it that a bell buried by a bull near the chapel was used to ward off thunderstorms caused by witches. The hike up to the chapel offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and the iconic Schlern massif, making it a must-see destination for visitors exploring the Alpe di Siusi region.
