Description:
The Crypt of Madonna della Stella, built in the rock, is located among the slopes of Botromagno's Hill. It presents a main rectangular front. Inside we notice a little place, perhaps the vestry and some frescoes. What remains of the little church is the steeple, whose transferred bronze bell is now located in the Museum. The name of the Madonna itself takes its origin from a silver comet star painted on her cloat.
