St. Theresa Church

The current church dates back to the 1500s, and was built on an existing church from the 1300s. The 18th-century bell tower and the cloister stand out.

There is an archaeological section with finds from the site of Botromagno (VII-III century BC), an art gallery with 260 paintings, numismatic collections and ceramics. In one of the rooms of the museum there are the frescoes of the Crypt of San Vito Vecchio detached from the original site and kept there.

The tradition speaks of an ancient church, rebuilt in its present form at the end of the 15th century. With a single nave, it retains a gilded wooden ceiling with rosettes, surrounded by a gilded wooden women's gallery. Of extraordinary beauty is the funeral mausoleum which houses the mortal remains of Angela Castriota Scanderberg, descendant of the Albanian hero Giorgio Scandenberg and wife of Duke Ferdinando II Orsini. The monument 6.60 m high and 3.20 m wide, carries a double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of Albania, in the middle of each shield. A monastery is annexed to the church of Santa Sofia which housed Poor Clares until the 19th century, when the order was suppressed.
