Santa Maria de Lama was built in the Lombard period, between the 10th and 11th centuries, and is first mentioned in 1055. It takes its name from the Lama stream, which flows underground along its wall.The crypt is the original church and preserves frescoes in the Lombard-Beneventan style with Saints Bartholomew and Andrew, as well as 13th-century frescoes. The upper church, with three naves, was rebuilt in the 13th century.
