A church built between the 19th and 20th centuries, with an unusual polygonal portico and Neo-Romanesque decoration.

This church was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and is an interesting example of how architects of the time adapted to the city's spaces. The façade in fact opens with a polygonal portico, designed to follow the irregular shape of the block in which the building stands.We suggest looking up at the upper storey, where a mullioned window and a series of small hanging arches recall the Romanesque style; at the top rises the belfry. The interior is simple and has no works of particular note, but the façade deserves a stop for its originality.
