Chiesa di Sant'Ambrogio della Massima

The church of Santa Caterina dei Funari is already attested in a bull of Pope Celestine III of 1192, but the present church dates back to the 16th century when Pope Paul III (1534-1549) granted it to Ignatius of Loyola. The adjoining and later convent was demolished in 1940 and the planned reconstruction was never carried out.

The church of Santa Maria in Publicolis is first mentioned in the 12th century. In the 16th century, the church was called Publicolis, because the noble Santacroce family, which had the patronage of the church, wanted to trace its family tree back to the Roman consul Publius Valerius Poplicola (6th century BC). Since the middle of the 19th century, the church has been entrusted to the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who have made it their general house.

Santa Maria in Portico was built between 1659 and 1667 after an icon of the Virgin Mary, carried in procession through the streets, was credited with saving the town from the plague of 1656. The 25 cm high icon of the Virgin Mary is dated by style and dendrochronology to the 11th century. It used to be in the old oratory of Santa Gala, now demolished.
