On the small Piazza Corpaci stands the church of San Francesco all'Immacolata. It presents elements belonging to different historical periods.
Initially dedicated to Sant'Andrea Apostolo, the church of San Francesco all'Immacolata in Piazza Corpaci dates back to the 1300s. Remodeled several times over the centuries, it presents elements belonging to different historical periods.
The beautiful baroque facade bears the insignia of the Franciscan order (two crossed arms), the frescoes of the vault of the eighteenth century reproducing the Immaculate Conception between St. Francis and St. Anthony, the marble steps of the altars and their ornaments are instead of the seventeenth century marble, and the bell tower from the end of the nineteenth century where the clock of the demolished church of S. Andrea was placed.
Not only that: the restorations carried out have brought to light the splendid fifteenth-century portals and traces of the neighboring convent.
