The Church of St. Mark is the oldest of the village, and from the top dominates the country. Developed probably as a chapel attached to castle, from the original rectangular system with a single nave, the '400 has become a three aisles, with a large dome lantern hidden from the outside and the bell tower. A set of different styles characterizes the internal environment, enriched by the splendor of the fourteen side altars, almost every stone, commissioned by the richest families in the country between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The original central altar, which was then replaced in 1858, the pulpit, the work of the Baroque period and the body above the baptismal font, the sixteenth century, are magnificent examples of art in carved and gilded, the work of skilled craftsmen.
