Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata

The church of the Santissima Annunziata was probably built around 1511 and was damaged in 1964 when the adjacent building collapsed. The façade has a large rose window, which surmounts the portal carved with a relief of the "Annunciation". The portal was dismantled and reassembled at a lower level in the second half of the 19th century when the street level was lowered, which also led to the creation of two internal stairways. The bell tower, which is not very high, flanks the façade and has a mullioned window.
