Description

The parish church of Saints James and Peter is located in the small village of Selma in the Calanca Valley. The nave is covered by a coffered ceiling from 1937, the choir by a cross vault. In the choir, the arched reveal is decorated with stucco cartouches and rosettes, while in the nave there are paintings from the second half of the XVII century and an altar with a depiction of the Crucifixion from 1680.
