This modest medieval church presents a façade of restrained elegance: a moulded pediment with stucco decoration, a central rose window, and a stone portal above which a niche holds a statue of the Immaculate Conception. To the left rises a small, square-based campanile, topped by a drum and a dome ending in a spire; the right side is opened by four arched apertures. Inside, the space is articulated by fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The high altar, in polychrome marble, bears an eighteenth-century statue of the Immacolata, flanked by paintings of San Biagio and San Pietro. A painted wooden organ from the eighteenth or nineteenth century survives. The pitched roof conceals a decorated internal ceiling. The plain masonry vertical structures suggest a building that has known centuries of quiet devotion, its embellishments accumulating slowly over time rather than arriving in a single grand gesture.
