Church of San Lazzaro of the lepers

 Outside the walls, in Via San Lazzaro, to the east of the city stands this small building with a linear façade (1681).

 
The original church, certainly much older, was probably medieval.
Leaning against the church's façade, you can see the stone statue of San Lazzaro almost life-size.

 The interior is decorated according to the eighteenth-century taste, with the characteristic altar surmounted by a canvas depicting the Resurrection of Lazarus
