Church of San Paolo in Naro



The Church of San Paolo in Naro is a small place of worship in the village.
The date of construction of the church is not known but it is certain that it was built, transforming a warehouse of the Timpanaro family, before 1685, the year in which it was elevated to a branch parish.
The simple gabled façade has a single portal with a round arch, flanked by pilasters that support a broken tympanum that houses a small opening. Adjacent to the main façade stands the bell tower.
The interior, with a single nave, is decorated with stucco, the work of Tommaso Fasulo in 1803.
Among the works kept in the church, the following are valuable: a wooden aedicule containing an urn with a dead crucified Christ, of fine late-sixteenth-century workmanship, in Mannerist style, coming from a ruined country church; the canvas of the Addolorata, a work by Fra Felice da Sambuca, born Gioacchino Viscosi.
