The Romanesque church of Santa Maria in Campagna di Ligurno stands alone in the cemetery of Cantello. Built over a previous church from the 8th century, the foundations of which were discovered in recent excavations, the building was restored in the years 1971-74 which brought to light the ancient Romanesque stone structures.

The oratory, a simple single-apse hall, is flanked on the left by a tall, slender six-story bell tower. The gabled façade is divided into three parts by pilaster strips and crowned by arches.

Inside, it was once extensively frescoed, today only fragments remain on the walls of the oratory.
