This Baroque Italianate church dates to the 1750s, although it was built on the site of a 14th-century church.

There was a priory on the site in the 13th century, while the 14th-century church was rebuilt in the 18th century.

Look out for the wooden statue of San Rocco, patron saint of dog trainers. Its organ, dating from the end of the 18th century, is one of the oldest working organs in the region.

When to come

The church is open every day from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00.
