18th-century church of the old La Torre quarter, with statues of saints and a wax Sleeping St Philomena.

The Church of San Giovanni Battista stands along the main street of the historic centre and was the church of the old quarter of La Torre, built in the 18th century. The façade culminates in a small bell tower.Inside, in Baroque style, we are struck by the wax statue of the Sleeping St Philomena, protected by a glass case. We also recommend the statues of St Sebastian, with silver ex-votos, and of St Catherine on an ancient column.
