About
The 18th century church of St. Peter is said to have been built on the site of an old castle and rebuilt in 1859, after an earthquake. At the entrance to the cemetery, one is greeted by a siren, a hand resting on a human head. This enigmatic carved stone, of Romanesque origin, is not isolated. If you reuse it on the facades of the church, you will discover six other sculptures of the same workmanship and all equally strange. Inside the church, the late Renaissance low-relief altarpiece represents the Dormition (death of the Virgin). The wooden vault hides the stone vault cracked during the earthquake of 1854.
