Constructed over 500 years ago, the church showcases a blend of Romano Baroque externally and Leccese Baroque internally. Its semi-circular facade is particularly noteworthy for its elaborate geometric structures and decorations. Inside, visitors can admire beautifully decorated chapels and a majestic main altarpiece.

This church and the museum inside here is quite an extraordinary architectural site and also has the most amazing display of artefacts and paintings.
