A church in the historic centre of Baiano, probably 17th-century, with a metal-clad door of 1794 and a square bell tower.

In Baiano's historic centre we find the church of the Holy Apostles Philip and James, probably of 17th-century origin and altered in later centuries. Like other churches in the town, it was restored after the damage of the 1980 and 1981 earthquakes. We recognise it by its square-based bell tower and its metal-clad entrance door, dated 1794.The interior has a single nave with side chapels and preserves paintings and wooden works. We like it because it shows well the meeting of popular devotion and Campanian architectural taste. We suggest combining the visit with a walk among Baiano's other historic churches, such as Santa Croce and Santo Stefano, all within walking distance.
