Indirizzo
The oratory, which comes under the parish of San Biagio, has existed since 1530. A fresco depicting the Enthroned Madonna with the resurrected and Saint Liberata beside her is painted over an older portrayal of a female figure, confirming the structure’s origin in the first half of the 16C.
It is flanked by a bell-tower with a quadrangular plan and a pyramid roof. The façade has no order but a triangular pediment; in its centre, an architrave door is flanked by two tall windows.
The interior has a rectangular open-space plan with the presbytery and apse combined in a single barrel-vaulted space. The red-stone altar with side doors crowned with two wooden statues of Mary Immaculate and St Anthony of Padua, divides the internal space, creating a secondary area behind it.
Two semi-columns in red stone (vase stands) mark the sides of the presbytery. On the right wall is a statue of Saint Eurosia (patron saint of farmers) and, on the back one, a picture of St James the Elder, dated 1603.
