The evocative and unique Sanctuary Tempietto di Sant'Emidio alle Grotte represents a splendid example of Baroque religious art in the Marche. It is defined as "alle grotte" because it is built against the caves of the ancient Christian necropolis. It is secluded from the urban context, in a place rich in vegetation and silence.
Here it is said that the decapitated Saint miraculously brought his own head to be buried.
This place of Emidian worship was rediscovered in 1721 when the people of Ascoli wanted to thank their Patron Saint for the protection granted in the earthquake of 1703. The most renowned local architect of the time, Giuseppe Giosafatti, created his project for this purpose: he brought the early Christian caves to light by crumbling the rocky part which was then covered with a delicately sculpted travertine facade.
