A Baroque church on a Latin-cross plan with three naves, rebuilt between 1745 and 1780 on the site of a 15th-century hermitage, when the earlier church, of 1470, was in ruins. It opened to the public in 1781. It was set on fire in 1936, its bell tower dates from 1940, and the 2011 earthquake brought down the crossing and the dome; the reconstruction was inaugurated in 2018.
