One of the seven ancient parishes that made up the Giudicarie area.
Pieve ab immemoriali, the parish church of Santa Giustina, located south of the town of Creto, is a cult building that preserves precious and well-preserved testimonies of its history inside and on the walls. The oldest elements are pertinent to the foundations of an apse, accompanied by entirely painted travertine blocks with polychrome geometric motifs (white, red and black) as well as fragments of considerable size of painted plaster, dating back to the Romanesque church first attested in 1221. It was erased in the 14th-15th century from a new Gothic temple, of which the rectangular presbytery remains adorned with precious 15th-century frescoes depicting the crucifixion and the stories of Saint Justina and Cyprian, on the walls, the Agnus Dei, the Evangelists with their symbols and the Doctors of the Church on the vault. Today's appearance dates back to an intervention at the end of the 16th century, to which was finally added the redevelopment of the 1764 façade.
