Church with a Gothic façade and a three-tier bell tower, holding a panel painting from 1610 and 17th-century stucco work.

Strolling along Corso Garibaldi we gladly stop in front of the Gothic façade of Santa Croce, probably from the late 15th century. The church has a rectangular plan with an apse and, on the right side, a square-based bell tower rising in three tiers.The interior bears the marks of Baroque-era alterations, with elegant 17th-century stucco work. We recommend looking for the 1610 panel painting depicting the Finding of the Holy Cross, signed by Pompeo Landolfo: it is the church's most precious treasure.
