Baroque church on piazza Dante where Saint Nunzio Sulprizio rests; since 2018 it has also been dedicated to him.

On one side of piazza Dante stands the church of San Domenico Soriano, named after an image of the saint believed to be miraculous. It was born in the 17th century when the Calabrian Dominicans bought a small church of 1587, thanks to the gift of a noblewoman who had ransomed a friar of the order from the Turks.The three-aisled interior with side chapels is richly decorated. On the high altar rests Saint Nunzio Sulprizio: after his canonisation in 2018, the church bears the names of both saints. The former convent, long used as barracks, now houses municipal offices.
