An 18th-century church on the San Biagio hill in Calitri, rebuilt after 1980 while keeping its façade and doorways.

The church of the Immacolata Concezione was opened for worship in 1714 on the San Biagio hill. It was the seat of the Archconfraternity of the Immaculate Conception, whose rules were approved by Charles of Bourbon in 1759, and from 1840 the church was also used as a burial place.Badly damaged by the 1980 earthquake, it was rebuilt saving the façade, the original entrance doorway and the two stone side doorways. We like noticing these old elements that withstood the earthquake. We suggest visiting it on Good Friday too, when the procession to the Calvary chapel sets off from here.
