Nostra Signora Incoronata Sanctuary

The sanctuary features three naves supported by octagonal columns, with marble decorations and light-colored walls creating a bright interior space.

The first documented mention of a church at this location dates to March 25, 1157, though local traditions suggest its origins in the 8th century.

The sanctuary holds the wooden statues known as Pacciûgo and Pacciûga, which connect to regional folklore and traditional stories of the area.

The bell tower contains twelve bells and remains intact from 1847, surviving through conflicts and standing as a reference point for the community.

A significant marble relief of the Crowned Virgin decorates the facade, remaining untouched through centuries of renovations and wartime damage.
