The Church of Our Lady of Constantinople or better known locally as the Church of the Devils, thanks to an ancient name that mentions the fact that the devil told the citizens of Tricase to build the church in one night otherwise he would have sent them to the underworld ... Furthermore, it is said that the missing bell of the adjoining bell tower, again for another ancient legend, was dismantled and transported to the bottom of the Canale del Rio and sometimes it can be heard retouched when there are currents or with rough sea ... Currently seat of local socio-cultural events in the area in front and which in recent times thanks to conservative restructuring interventions can be admired in the state in which it is presented

Church of Our Lady of Constantinople. Dating back to 1684 it is known as the "Church of the devils". In fact, legend has it that it was precisely the devils who built it. Today the church is deconsecrated.
