Built together with the house of Teatini monks, is dedicated to S. Irene. In 1717 the statue of S. Irene was placed over the façade. It’s a dignified, elegant and solemn ensemble. The Latin cross interior, with a single nave and 3 chapels, has sumptuous altars richly decorated countering the solemnity of the exterior: they are the most meaningful examples of local Baroque.
