Tips
The Church of Santa Maria del Mastro, founded in 1083-1084 in the Norman era, is rich in history and art. Excavations have revealed 12th-century ossuaries and artefacts. Damaged in 1908 by an earthquake, it features 20th century polychrome plaster and a square tower bell tower. It was once a proto-papal seat and reflects the architectural and liturgical transformations over the centuries.
