St. Catherine’s Parish Church is in the neoclassical style. It has a bell tower and an annex building, which was used as the town hall until the 1960s and then returned to the parish. Work began on April 24, 1737, by Tuscan craftsmen and lasted until June 1745, the year of the solemn inauguration. The church has three naves with a cross plan, side chapels and transept, and is surmounted by a dome with an octagonal base. The façade, divided into two orders, overlooks a churchyard; it is fitted with granite seats, plastered pink and enlivened by six white pilasters, which frame the three portals. In the first chapel on the right is a baptismal font of polychrome marble typical of the 1700s. The most interesting altar is in the right transept: a majestic altarpiece of gilded wood on a green background of Spanish inspiration. In the chancel is the polychrome marble balustrade and in the center of the altar the niche with the statue of the titular saint, holding the sword in her right hand, and in her left the palm of martyrdom and a book. In the apse basin, a large fresco: the “Martyrdom of St. Catherine” by local painter, Pietro Mele.
