Thirteenth-century church remodelled in Baroque style from 1636; the façade still bears the scars of war and fragments of old doorways.

On the street of the same name, in the historic centre, the church of San Nicola dei Caserti was founded in the 13th century by the noblewoman Purinella Sicola; it then passed to the nuns of San Sebastiano and, in 1636, to the priests of Christian Doctrine, who transformed it in Baroque style.It was badly damaged in the Second World War. The façade still bears the scars and incorporates fragments of old doorways. The single-nave interior with chapels is covered by a vault with a dome.
