Church in Ricigliano built over imperial-era walls and mosaics, perhaps founded by Basilian monks.

The Church of the Madonna dell'Incoronata stands on remains of walls and mosaics from the Roman imperial age. Damaged by the 1980 earthquake, it has been restored.It is thought to have been founded by Basilian monks, who came to Italy from the 8th century onwards to escape iconoclasm. We like this link with Greek monasticism, which was also very much alive in the Tanagro valley.
