Church of the Holy Cross

Local name: Basilica di Santa Croce

Baroque basilica built in 1556-1606 on the site of the former, late-Gothic monastery church. Its most characteristic element is the richly decorated facade with columns, rosette and attic, on which figures of animals and people are placed, as well as decorations of flowers, vegetables and fruit. The interior of the basilica is divided by columns with carved capitals and decorated with sculptural and stucco dercoitions.
