The Church of the Capuchins, whose construction dates back to the late 12th century, features a facade made of brick and stone, enriched over time by valuable frescoes and later restored, after a period of neglect, by the Capuchin friars in 1623.

The friars built a convent next to the church and dedicated themselves to it until the Napoleonic era, when it was suppressed.

After a hundred years, the Capuchins regained possession of the church, which had been sold at auction, and restored it to its ancient Romanesque character, rediscovering a fine fresco attributed to the brothers Franceschino and Manfredino Baxilio, probably from 1484.
