Chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore

In the Chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore, the architectural language of the Baroque speaks in a measured, sober tone. The church follows a longitudinal plan with three aisles: the central one is capped by a low barrel vault, while the side aisles slope with pitched roofs. At the crossing, where the transept does not project beyond the side aisles, a cupola of the Vanvitellian type rises, a distinctive feature of the period’s engineering elegance.

Inside, eighteenth-century altars fill niches along the walls, while the presbytery is raised above the nave floor. The high altar, set against the wall, is crowned by three niches. The interior is enriched with friezes, mouldings, capitals, pilasters interspersed with niches, and polychrome marbles, a restrained but confident display of decorative richness.

The gabled façade clearly articulates the lower side aisles beside the taller central nave. A triangular pediment, supported by two pilasters with Ionic capitals, frames a stone portal dated 1732. Above it, a rectangular window aligns with the entrance; two further portals flank the composition.
