Church of Saint Martha, dating from the 12th century. The original dedication was to the saints Quirico and Julitta, but in 1603
Bishop Bescapè gave it to the Brothers of Saint Martha with the task of giving shelter to wayfarers. It lost its importance in 1807
when the Napoleonic laws removed the brotherhoods. Restoration in 1932 revealed a fresco dedicated to the Saint, depicted
clothed in a cape and a halo, alongside the brotherhood dressed in characteristic white hooded tunics.
