St Anthony of Padua
Church
First
documentary evidence of this small church which was then known
better as "St Catherine's", to which
saint it is also dedicated, goes back to the latter sixteenth
century. The present elliptical structure was built in 1828
and has two altars. It is surmounted by a dome and a lantern
which illuminates the interior. The facade is hemmed in by
coupled composite pilasters, between which is an ornate
doorway surmounted by an elliptical oculus window with a
baroque pediment. A campanile rises at the back.
