Chiesa Matrice dell'Addolorata

This is a church of sober geometry and surprising flourishes. Its plan is a Latin cross, single-aisled, with two square bays, a short-armed transept, and a semicircular apse framed by a round arch. The interior is defined by robust polygonal stone pillars supporting round arches, above which runs a moulded cornice. The first two bays and the transept are vaulted with sail vaults; the apse is capped by a hemispherical half-dome. The floor is laid with rectangular stone slabs.

The main façade is the real set-piece. A broad pyramidal staircase of four stone steps, with chamfered corners, occupies most of its width. The façade itself is built of local stone in horizontal courses, with a stone base and two pairs of lateral pilasters. The entrance portal has an archivolt decorated with painted ceramics; above it, a three-light window is filled with polychrome stained glass. The crowning is a polygonal pediment with a moulded, panelled fascia. At the rear rises a square bell-tower, divided into three stacked orders, each with mullioned windows and spires.
