Baragiano.
The old origins of this village are proofed by some
archaeological finds discovered in the area called
‘Braida’, such as the ruins of the walls
dating back to the VI-V centuries.
In the old centre there are some palaces with beautiful
portals, such as Palazzo Iura and Palazzo Venetucci.
In the highest part of the village there are the ruins
of the old Castle.
The Church of S. Maria Assunta has renaissance origins,
but has been changed and renovated several times.
Its facade is simple and enriched by 3 stone steles.
Inside, there is the statue of the Assunta, on the
left a wooden Crucifix of the XVII-XVIII centuries,
on the right a stoup with a stone base and the wooden
statue of the Madonna del Carmine, of the XVI century.
S. Rocco’s Chapel, of the XVI century, and the
Church of the Annunziata, of the XV century, are also
interesting.
