History and Description
A church was erected at this summit circa the year 1100; when that church collapsed in 1607, it was rebuilt. The belltower still retains a Romanesque structure. The church is accessible through a staircase rising from via San Salvatore. The facade of the church has four arches, some including columns from the first church. The interior houses a canvas depicting the ''Madonna della Consolazione'' (1648) by A. Cardella. There is a wooden statue of the ''Transubstantion of Christ'' by Quattrocchi. There is a canvas depicting ''lo Spasimo'' by Nicolò Mirabella.website, entry on church.
