Chiesa Santa Vittoria Vergine e Martire

This is a church of deliberate, almost defensive asymmetry. Its Latin-cross plan and three unequal aisles rest on a rock base, the continuous plastered walls braced by cross vaults. The roof is a simple pitch of terracotta tiles. The façade is a curious affair: a gabled front with just three windows, leading not to the main door but to a passage that redirects you to the southern side. The real light comes from a rhythmic row of windows high on the central nave. Inside, the side aisles hold a staggered series of altars, four on the left, three on the right, with a secondary northern entrance. Flanking the north side is a stone bell tower in three stages: the first is a passageway, topped by a small balcony, then a stringcourse, then the belfry with arched single-light openings, all finished with a crowning cornice and a pyramidal spire. It is a building that reveals itself slowly, rewarding the attentive circuit.
