Church of San Biagio in Cammarata
The Church of San Biagio in Cammarata is one of the buildings of worship in the village.
The date of construction of the church is not known but the first documents attesting to the existence of the church date back to 1219, when the church of San Biagio a Cammarata was ceded in 1219 by Peregrino, prior of S. Maria di Adriano, to bishop Ursone.
The simple façade develops on a single order and is marked by two pilasters, on its sides, which support a gable with curved shapes which contains the bell tower inside. The bell tower is composed of two round arches which house the two bells, surmounted by a triangular tympanum.
The interior, with a single nave, has two parastras that delimit the area dedicated to the faithful and that dedicated to the altar. A recent restoration has brought to light the decorations present on the vaults and walls and has made the underground rooms accessible.
Among the works kept inside the church, of particular value are: the paintings of the Holy Family and the Nativity, by Pietro d'Asaro and a copy of San Filippo Neri by Reni; the statues of San Biagio and Santa Lucia; the ancient wooden counter in the sacristy; an ancient marble stoup.
