A splendid example of Abruzzo Baroque at the top of an evocative staircase, with its bell tower on the right and the church of San Lorenzo on the left.

The church overlooks the market square and was an integral part of the convent of San Francesco. Very little remains of its original appearance, the current bell tower was initially a watchtower and defense commissioned by Restaino Cantelmo Count of Popoli, while the facade of the church, rebuilt in the upper part after the earthquake of 1688, presents stylistic features of late fifteenth-century Lombardy.

It is a rare example of medieval civil architecture in Abruzzo. Typical house-shop structure, it was used for the collection and storage of tithes, as a sort of bank branch linked to the flourishing economy of transhumance. Later it became a "Taberna" for the possibility given to wayfarers to refresh themselves and spend the night.
