Churches and Places of Worship
The Church of St. James the Apostle, dating back to the early nineteenth century, shows a simple brick facade with flat crowning with coupled pilasters on the sides of the portal.
The entrance has a flat architrave surmounted by a lunette in the upper part of the facade; on the sides two empty niches, perhaps once embellished with images of saints.
The statue of St. James the Apostle is exhibited in a reliquary above the altar in the center of the apse; on the sides, on two shelves, a dressed simulacrum of the Madonna and Child and a wooden one of S. Antonio Abate.
At the entrance, a font with a characteristic mortar shape, embedded in the wall.
