Church of San Salvatore
In the historic center there are the remains of the ancient Church of San Salvatore, the only remains of the monastery of San Salvatore founded between 766 and 774 by Queen Ansa, wife of the last Lombard king Desiderio.
Built with a single nave and a raised presbytery, the church was equipped with a crypt enriched with frescoes which were brought to light with the restoration of 1959.
Today the apse area with what remains of the walls can be freely viewed.
