CHURCH OF SANT'ANTONIO LA MACCHIA

Audio guide · EN 0:00 / 0:00

Hermit monastery of the Capuchins, built in 1530 by Brother Tullio of the Balsamo family of Potenza, among the green tree-lined paths. Almost completely rebuilt recently. From antiquity only the Cross remains, located 50 meters on the right, before reaching the little church, which is still entrusted to the Capuchins today. The fully restored building has a facade of squared stone blocks and a small portico in front of the entrance next to which is a low bell tower; the Church, with a single nave, preserves simple furnishings inside and the statue of Sant'Antonio to whom the small place of worship is dedicated.
