Description

The church of San Domenico, classified by the Superintendency of Monuments, as "rocky church" in the fifteenth century. There, in fact, was open in the XVcentury. There, in fact, opened a convent of Dominicans in 1469. The Dominicans lived there about two centuries, until the middle of 600 when they had to leave the convent because the community did not reach the minimum number of three people, just the bull of Innocent X of October 15, 1652. The present church, however, is not that one of the fifteenth century because it was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1557. It has undergone many renovations. The current Central cona results from an extension between the end of the 60s or early 70s of the XIX century, the left aisle is evident as seen by the most recent different structure. After these additions, the church was blessed by Bishop Felice Romano. The last renovation took place in the years 1983/84 and was consecrated by Bishop Antonio Pagano on May 27, 1990. The painting of the Madonna del Rosario, that is now at the center of the cona is the most ancient that there is in this church.

Description

In the seventeenth century in this area there was a church dedicated to St. Sebastiano where Annunciation of Mary was venerated. We do not know if it has changed the title or, having been abandoned, it was built another church under the name of the Annunciation, which was restored in 1792. Inside you can admire a beautiful altar and toile and a few more marbles of the eighteenth century. The bell and clock tower are highlighted by a cover of majolica. The upper part of facade is covered with a coating of finely decorated with tiles in the center cross of Malta and starry flowers in the corners. They represented two figurative scenes, the Annunciation and Vision of St. John Joseph, which was originally to be located higher up, then moved lower in 1896: the valuable work carried out was probably a shop and the Annunciation had to be done, however, by Neapolitan maiolica artist completed in 1781. To equip the church with bells summoned the good heart of the people who offered their objects of gold, which merged with other precious metals gave rise to their creation. Temple and meeting place, where old farmers during the sunset of feast days, met to greet the country gentleman with a harmonious chanting, dedicated to Lady.
