San Michele Arcangelo Church

Of late Roman origin, the church was rebuilt in Romanesque era (XII Century) by inverting its orientation. The naves were separated by quadrangular pillars and the deep apse anded in a semi-circle; the above-elevated presbytery extended along the first bay of the central nave and was accessible through a stone staircase. The building has lived, starting from the fifteenth century, different transformation phases that only spared the bell tower, inserted in the south side. Today the bell tower still keeps its Romanesque appearance with its hanging arches decoration with a brick frame above. Inside, on the side of the central nave, a circular artifact was found that identifies with the Baptismal font (tank) dating back to the primitive church (VI Century), currently visible after the recent restoration works.
