The Church of Santa Maria in Porto Lungo dates from the fourteenth century and, built on an ancient pagan temple, is in Romanesque style. Its facade is a horizontal coping with a central triangular brick structure in support of the cross.
The wooden portal, squared and austere, is divided into 48 panels and is topped by a small newsstands now empty, which in the past has kept a small statue of the Madonna. In a high “eye” gives light within the façade and refines. A campaign to sail, also in brick, rises from the rear of the cover and contains two bells.
The interior has a single nave without an apse with round-arched triumphal arch and offers to the faithful the late-medieval frescoes and a beautiful wooden altar of the baroque style of the 1646 decorated with gold tooling.
The ceiling is completely covered by magnificent majolica tiles with geometric designs and stylized representations of animals.
