Church of Santi Domenico e Francesco

The parish church of Sturno with a Latin-cross plan and an apse painting attributed to the school of Luca Giordano.

The story of this church begins with an act of generosity: thanks to donations from Domenico Caracciolo, son of the first Prince of Torella, an old grain store was turned into a place of worship, which became a parish church in the early 18th century. In the 1970s the small church was replaced by a new, larger building.The interior has three naves, a Latin-cross plan and a polygonal apse. We suggest lingering over the apse painting of the meeting between Saint Francis and Saint Dominic, attributed to the school of Luca Giordano. We also like the canvases of the Annunciation and Saint Anne and the statues in the side naves. The patronal feast is celebrated on 8 August.
