Beautiful

Lovely old church, built on the site of an ancient Roman temple (which was dedicated to Jupiter). It's not always open though.

A Historical Church
This church has quite a lot of history attached to it, especially considering the town is now quite small and isolated. It is situated on the highest point of the town but in hemmed in a bit by other buildings - although there is an open courtyard at the front (which has a nice ice cream shop). Inside it is clearly old with a number of statues etc with a nice curved, painted ceiling and clearly well looked after. Generally a beautiful inside. Unfortunately we could not access the tower. The town seemed off the main tourist trail so it was very peaceful and quiet there. I would recommend it if you churches and/or history.

Partial Review as both Church and Bell Tower were closed...
The church is located in the northern part of the old town centre and can be found easily. There is a large square in front of the church. The location is not well maintained which gives it a specific, authentic atmosphere. On the outside the church and bell tower look quite neglected and rough. Unfortunately we couldn't go into the church so we looked through the window in the portal. The interior of the baroque style church was really impressive. Behind the church one can enjoy an excellent panorama. Well worth the uphill walk but with some additional effort the whole location could be made more attractive and interesting without making it it less authentic.
