| Centopietre is an important artistic monument built probably in the IX century, but according to a legend it was built during the war between the Moors and the Christians, to celebrate the date of the heroic general Sirmiano. It has a rectangular plant and is made up of one hundred enormous blocks of stones. The monument has two doors; inside the walls were painted in the XV century with the image of thirteen saints. In the past it was used by the priest to celebrate the religious rites, but then Centopietre was turned in a sheepfold. In 1873 it was declared a National Monument. |
