- The current parish church was built between 1830 and 1834. The church was damaged by the 1976 earthquake and was the subject of a major renovation in 2000. On September 28, 2004 a fire damaged the interior of the building and, therefore , it was necessary to proceed with a rearrangement intervention; it was also necessary to subject the organ to an important cleaning in 2005 and in 2010 the nineteenth-century frescoes on the ceiling were renewed.
