Restored and open to worship, in 1796, it was destroyed, along with the adjacent Teatini college since the 1908 earthquake.It occupied the current area of the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate on Corso Cavour.

Taking the downhill crossroads you go towards the beach of La Croce a Mare, so called because of a curious little Madonna who watches over the sea from the rocks.
