Description

The parish church is located on the outskirts of the town and its construction dates back to 1616, on a site where there was a pre-existing church, traces of which remain such as the ancient altar.

The building is characterized by a single nave, divided into bays with pendentive groin vaults, from which the side chapels and the presbytery chapel open.

The original layout recalls the late Gothic style, although some side chapels and the presbytery chapel, barrel-vaulted, suggest later interventions.

In the presbytery, there is a large altar-piece in painted and gilded wood, divided into three mirrors, with apical crest, which houses wooden sculptures of San Giuseppe, San Pietro, and San Sebastiano.

The facade is enclosed between two corner buttresses and ends with a sloping cornice. Above the portal, decorated with rosettes and a tympanum, there is a large oculus.
