A Franciscan church on Airola's main street, with six side chapels, a high relief of the Immaculate Conception and a prayer garden.

Along Corso Caudino in Airola, the church of the Santissima Concezione stands beside a Franciscan convent that from 1911 housed the seraphic college of the religious province, and during the war also sheltered the seminarians of Benevento. The single-nave interior is decorated in the Alcantarine style, and in the presbytery the high altar is topped by the statue of the Immaculate Conception and a large stucco high relief.We enjoy walking past the six side chapels, dedicated among others to Saint Anthony, to Saint Paschal Baylon with a wooden statue and frescoes, to Saint Lucy and to Saint Francis of Assisi, whose votive lamp is lit by the mayor every 4 October. We suggest a pause in the garden, where since 1997 the oasis of the Immaculate Queen of Peace invites prayer and meditation.
