A church of 1582 known as "the Convent", with Renaissance columns, Baroque decoration and six 18th-century paintings.

The church of the Santissimo Rosario, also known as the Convento (the Convent), was built in 1582 and restored several times after the earthquakes of 1796 and 1980. It has a gabled façade with a stone doorway.The single-nave interior mixes Renaissance columns and Baroque friezes with angels, saints and popes. We suggest lingering over the six paintings, mostly from the 18th century, above the marble altars.
