The largest church in Corleto Monforte, on Piazza Diana, dedicated to the patron St Barbara, with marble altars.

Overlooking Piazza Diana, the Church of Santa Barbara is the largest in Corleto Monforte and holds the statue of the patron saint. It replaced the old church of Santa Maria dell'Elice, and its bell tower rises straight out of the rock, where a defensive tower once stood.The three-nave Latin-cross interior preserves paintings, sculptures and several altars, including the polychrome marble high altar. We suggest noticing the organ by the Carelli workshop at the entrance. We like coming back here on 10 July, the day of the patronal feast, when the Alburni village celebrates its saint.
