Passion of Christ
Following two earlier churches the earliest of which existed in 1391, the Probota was built in 1530 and it was used as a princiary necropolis for over 100 years.
The Last Judgement scene depicted on the porch ceiling is noteworthy and so are the surviving frescoes on the outside of teh Southern wall, even given their faded state due to the elements.
