Church of San Lorenzo Martire

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Sorbo was probably founded in the 10th century as the chapel of a castle that once stood on the site. In 1427 Cardinal Giordano Orsini granted the remains of the abandoned castle and chapel to the Carmelite order and allowed them to build a convent. The church of the convent, located on the former chapel, houses a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, hence its name of sanctuary.

The church of San Pancrazio was built in the 15th century by the Orsini family, owners of the castle in the Isola Farnese district. Later it was enlarged, with the present façade and a bell tower. The façade has a beautiful Roman marble portal and, above it, a rose window with polychrome glass decoration. The inside has three naves with an apse. Everywhere in the building, there are frescos or remains of frescos of the XVI century.

The church of St. John the Baptist dates from the 13th century. Enlarged in the 16th century and then remodelled between the 17th and 19th centuries, the façade is one of the rare survivors of the original medieval building. The bell tower dates from 1602. The interior consists of three naves divided by pillars. The presbytery is a late 16th-century work of Giacomo Del Duca, who also designed the wooden coffered ceiling. Among the many works of art that decorate the church are frescoes by Zuccari with the Stories of the Virgin and the Stories of St. John.
