Here you can see the ruins of a medieval church. The building dates back to the 9th century. Over the centuries it was modified and enlarged, because it became a destination for pilgrims, probably due to the presence of the remains of a saint inside it. Furthermore, it is also found on the road to the sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo. A possible cause of the demolition could have been the Sannio earthquake in 1688, but there are no certain sources.
