Teatro Ex Santo Spirito – the theatre with the 'little faces'
In the heart of Cellino Attanasio, you'll find the special Teatro Ex Santo Spirito: an atmospheric city theatre, housed in a former 18th-century church. Take a good look at the baroque brick facade. Above the entrance, small terracotta faces – the famous 'little faces' – are incorporated into the cornice and pediment. According to local lore, these figures kept evil spirits at bay. The beautiful contrast between the sober bricks and the refined terracotta details makes this one of the most photogenic facades in the region.
