CHIESA DEL PURGATORIO
Church destined to be the mortuary chapel of the Orsini family.
Note the macabre ornaments on the façade, in particular the two sculpted skeletons on the tympanum of the portal: originally the church, built in the 17th century, was intended to be the mortuary chapel of the Orsini family. Inside the single nave there is a pulpit, three chapels and altars, 18th century organs and paintings and the tomb of Ferdinando III d'Orsini, Duke of Gravina. The painting of the Madonna del suffragio is a work by Francesco Guarino, a baroque painter of the Neapolitan school.
