The church of San Lorenzo, located within the walls of the medieval village a short distance from the castle, appears to have been built in the early 14th century. The interior, of basilican layout orphaned of a side aisle, is divided into two truss-vaulted naves, separated by pointed arches and ending in cross-vaulted chapels. The façade is surmounted by a gabled bell tower with two openings in which two bells still stand: the smaller one bears the date 1320; the second is dated 1434. The older bell may be the only evidence of a hypothetical preexisting church. The building underwent considerable interventions over the centuries that led it to assume its present appearance. We recall in particular the alterations in the 17th century, when the roof, the chapels of St. Lawrence and the Virgin of Itria and, on the facade, the loggia, with a tile roof resting on four columns, were rebuilt. Other works were carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries. The latest restoration, a few years ago, unearthed a single-light window, which, with the lunetted portal, rose window, is what remains of the original construction. Among the furnishings inside the church are a 17th-century wooden pulpit, carved and painted, and two retables. The retable of the chapel of St. Lawrence, from the parish church, dates back to the 16th century and is in the Renaissance style; the retable of the chapel of the Virgin of Itria, in the Baroque style, was carved in the early 18th century for the purpose of housing the ancient statue of the titular Virgin of the chapel. The said statue is covered with clothing and jewelry belonging to different eras and has significant cultural-historical value.
