Church of the Holy Sacrament
The religious building with a façade partially clad in smooth carparo stone ashlars, divided by four pilasters in Doric order framing the entrance portal, was elevated adjacent to the old Chiesa Matrice in the first decades of the 1800s to expand the original seventeenth-century seat , whose prospectus can still be seen. The Brotherhood was established at the beginning of the 17th century and immediately formed a pious association with the Mother Church with which it shared the cult of the Assumption and the dedication to harmony and care of souls. In addition, the church of the Blessed Sacrament served as a parish for about a decade, from 1848 to 1858.
