Church of San Giovanni Evangelista

Formerly an aristocratic chapel of the Counts Mauruzi da Tolentino who were subjugated to the Stacciola Castle by Pandolfo Malatesta in 1412.

The church only became a parish church when the other church extra muros was demolished in the 17th century. The interior was remodelled later. The façade is almost unadorned, with the exception of the portal showing lightly on the white-painted plastered wall. A simple rectangular window is in axis with the portal, above it the pitches of the pitched roof are emphasised by the cornice. The bell tower leans to the left of the church, joining the roof with a triangular wall. The belfry is framed by pilasters with stepped capitals and ends with a cusped roof. The base of the steeple bell tower protrudes from the edge of the church wall. A clock is mounted under the belfry. The interior of the church has a single hall with a hemispherical apse. The side walls have two niches with altars ended by round arches. Following the partial collapse of the roof in 1989, the church was restored and reopened in 1993, on which occasion all the interior decorations with polychrome geometric motifs were handmade by the stacciolani, tracing the original ones. The presbytery rises above the hall with a step, the movable altar is made from salvaged elements of the original altar and houses the relics of Saint Tranquillus. Behind it, a niche houses the statue of the Virgin and Child Jesus. Above the entrance is the chancel with the organ.
