Churches - ST. MARY OF
ANGELS
The
Church of St. Mary of Angels (XV century) was
built by will of capuchin friar Julio Cesar Russo from
Brindisi, who later become Saint Lawrence, on
the area of his family property.
The original facade
was along Via S. Lorenzo, nowadays on the left side
of the church.
The church has a elegant
facade with a wooden door (XVII century) with
bas-reliefs of some Saints.
Inside there are four lateral chapels for each
side; in one of these chapels some Saint Lawrence relics
and some holy pieces bought by himself, including an
ivory crucifix and the cross used in the battle of Albareale,
are kept.
Valuable are: the wooden
pulpit (XVII century), the painting on the ceiling
and the "Our Lady among Angels" painting
on the main altar.
