Tips

This church is one of the oldest among the small churches of Barga, even if the exact age of its foundation is not known, we know that they certainly existed as early as the fifteenth century, smaller rooms next to this church served for a long time as the inhabitants of the Franciscans from the secure monastery of S. Bernardino in Nebbiana, who had gone to the castle of Barga to help the victims of the plague.

Subsequently, the various renovations and extensions will take place, such as in 1631 when part of the overlying Arringo wall collapsed disastrously on top of the church, killing seventeen people; from again in 1737, when, thanks to the Brotherhood of the Battuti della Croce, the church was enlarged in length. The interior of the church is divided into three naves and it is possible to admire a rich and detailed wooden altar of the seventeenth century; As a result, there is a cherry wood chancel with part carvings perhaps attributable to the 17th century Verzani di Barga.
