This church is located in the center of this lovely coastal town and is famous for holding the remains of Saint-Thomas the Apostle. Many times reconstructed, it dates back to 1258. The main Portal is the original one from 1311 and its white stone contrasts with the rest of the structure built in red bricks. The interior features one nave and lateral chapels and a crypt below the altar with the remains of Saint-Thomas. When I visited there was no other person in it and I was able to admire it in absolute silence.

Originally a church built in Augustinian Order in 1266. Only the front wall lasts since the 14th century, including a beautiful stone, rose window. The interior is ok, Compared to the thousands of other amazing churches in Italy this one is ho-hum. The interior was reworked in a neo-Gothic style in 1853. In the same year, the name of the church was changed to San Giuseppe in honor of Napoleon’s brother, who was at that time the king of Naples. The best, most interesting, and well worth a long gaze is the triptych from 1505.

I hope you will have the chance we had to meet a great guide like Mirella. She transmitted her passion and knowledge about the main church, la Collegiata di S. Maria Maggiore,in a very special way, so intense that our kids were fascinated. We discovered hidden gems we could not have known differently. You should understand Italian to fully appreciate the explanation. Please visit the crypt as well.
