Attractions
San Pietro Abbey in Vallate
The old abbey church of the Cluniac Priory of San Pietro in Vallate is all that remains of the old complex that was founded here in 1078. Externally, the apse with the altar was richly decorated, as can be seen today, with semicircular blind arches under the roof and terracotta decorations.
Parish Church of San Martino
The first stone of the parish church of San Martino was laid by the local community in 1158 and then built with a Latin cross plan, with only one nave. In the interior there are still some frescoes from the 16th century that are of good workmanship, such as San Sebastiano and San Martino a cavallo .
Santa Maria delle Ruscaine church
The church of Santa Maria delle Ruscaine is in the fraction Regoledo and houses a painted Madonna and Child made of wood, perhaps by Pietro Bussolo (15th century).
