| Rebuilt in 1379 by Domenico Martina.
The facade is decorated by the portal of late Romanesque-Pugliese and a small rose window in the upper part, surrounded by saints. The interior has a nave. Very characteristic is the dome of the Rosary Chapel, decorated with colored tiles. Valuable is the baroque chapel (1709) to the right of the entrance. The chapel houses the altars of the protectors of Grottaglie: St. Cyrus and St. Francis de Geronimo. Inside it there is a painting by Paolo De Matteis (1711), depicting the Madonna of the Rosary. Of great value is a relief of 1500, which is in the first chapel on the left and reproduces in stone the Annunciation. In the last chapel on the right, dedicated to St. Joseph in 1600, there is a sixteenth-century wooden choir. Above the apse is visible organ of the sixteenth century, brought into use after a long restoration. |
