Church of Sant'Orsola in Pietraperzia



The Church of Sant'Orsola in Pietraperzia is one of the sacred buildings of the village.
The date of construction of the church is not known but it is certain that it already existed in 1700 under the name of Chiesa Sant'Orsola e Compagne virgins, in which there was the devotion of the Virgin of Sorrows. For this reason the church was indifferently called the Church of the Madonna della Pietà, the Church of the Addolorata and the Church of Sant'Orsola. The building has always been used by the Congregation of the Ursuline Sisters.
The gabled façade, made of squared blocks of sandstone, is flanked on the left by a bell loggia.
The interior, with a single nave, is covered a barrel vault with lunettes and, in the presbytery, a cross vault.
