A small church from 1703 dedicated to Saint Rose of Viterbo, with a portal in local stone; today it is admired from outside.

Along the street that bears its name we find the small church dedicated to Saint Rose of Viterbo, built in 1703 as the inscription carved on the lintel of the local stone portal records. The interior is a rectangular hall with a barrel vault and terracotta floor, with a single, well-made altar.In a niche above the altar is the statue of the saint, while on the left a shrine holds the icon of the Madonna del Carmine, once celebrated with great solemnity. At the foot of the altar are relics of Saint Rose and Saint Lucy. The chapel has been closed for some years: we recommend admiring it from outside, pausing at the portal.
