The Mother Church has a Latin cross plan and was built in 1689 on the ruins of a Greek rite church. It stands in the main square of the town called "del Sole" and is accompanied by a four-storey bell tower of which the last is octagonal. Particularly valuable are the interiors, as the Renaissance and Baroque altars and beautiful paintings. Noteworthy is the canvas of the 'Madonna della Misericordia', which offers an unprecedented pregnant Madonna. Initially the church had two naves; at the end of the XVII century it was rebuilt with a single nave. Some hatches give access to the underground tombs.
