The church of Predazzo is among the most successful neo-Gothic buildings in the entire region. The bell tower soars with its cross over 53 meters, dominating the main square of the village. Monumental and welcoming, it was built between 1866 and 1870 with the use of local stone. Peculiar are the monolithic columns inside, made from a single block of monzonite. 

The church is dedicated to the town's patron saints, Saints Philip and James, to whom the space is dedicated in the altarpiece of the main altar next to Jesus the Master, signed "Nobili - Roma, 1970". Still a Roman, Ugo Guardabassi, is the artist of the altarpieces of the Madonna and Sant'Antonio Abate. 

The contribution of local artists is in the frescoes of the four saints (1936-37) on the sides of the minor altars: the Predazzano painter Camillo Bernardi painted Saint Peter, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint John Bosco and Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus. The Way of the Cross is the work of G. B. Chiocchetti di Moena (1873)

The ancient baptismal font dates back to 1538. The granites used in the construction of the entire building come from quarries in the surrounding area. In fact, the variety and quality of the existing marbles in the area is remarkable: the pink granite of Predazzo, Predazzite, characterized by white marble, and Monzonite, with colors ranging from brown, to gray to purple
