The
church of
S. Maria dei Minniti
Founded by the nobleman Pietro Minniti, from whom it
took its name, the church of S. Mary stood, according to Prota
– “where the Palazzo Hyerace stands”. It was completely destroyed
in the 1783 earthquake and subsequently moved to the church
of S. Maria di Valverde, otherwise known as Badia, a real jewel
of 1700s art.

The
church of
San Leo
The church of San Leo was built by local hands in the
1700s. This religious edifice, whose layout is that of a Latin
cross, housed the confraternity of the Immacolata until 1842,
the year in which they were transferred to the church del Carmine.
Subsequently the church was de-consecrated and turned into a
Municipal Theatre, today a conference hall.
