Born as a Carmelite friary, the Church of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli overlooks the main square of Foglianise.

The Church of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli began as a friary of the Carmelite friars, at that time on the edge of the village; today the open space in front of the church has become the centre of the village. Around 1600 a hermitage was added, which now houses the town hall. The building has a Latin-cross plan.Inside we find fine paintings such as the Dormitio Mariae of 1630, an Ascension and the 16th-century Mysteries of the Rosary. We are intrigued by the statue of St Anthony, commissioned in 1911 in protest at the transfer of the Annunziata friary's lands from Foglianise to Vitulano. We recommend stopping in the square to soak up the village atmosphere.
