Parish Church of the Holy Saviour and Bell Tower

The parish church of SS. Salvatore dates back to the 11th century. All that remains of the original structure are a few elements consisting of two capitals surmounted by fish figures in the three corners. The building was rebuilt several times following several earthquakes, such as the one in 1456 and the one in 1688. It was completely destroyed in the earthquake of 26 July 1805; it took several years to rebuild and reopen for worship in 1828. The stone staircase with two semicircular flights dates back to 1885. The bell tower was completed in 1894. Damaged by an earthquake in 1913, the church was reopened after two years. Severely damaged by the 2002 San Giuliano earthquake, it was closed for over ten years and reopened for worship on 23 August 2013.
The most valuable find in the church is a stone funerary stele with a Roman inscription dating back to the 3rd century, later excavated and used as a baptismal font, featuring bas-reliefs depicting hunting scenes with animals fighting each other.
