Church of Sant'Antonio - San Marco d'Alunzio

Church with a single nave of the seventeenth century, probably erected on a pagan temple, the Church of Sant'Antonio has a valuable seventeenth-century red marble facade of San Marco embellished with friezes, decorations and noble coats of arms. The capitals of the central portal are surmounted by a triple broken tympanum which houses, inside a niche, the marble statue of Sant'Antonio Abate, founder of Eastern monasticism, while two smaller lateral niches house the statues of Saints Peter and Paul. Inside the church it is possible to admire a 15th century statue of the Crucifix and a late 16th century canvas by Damiano de Basilio depicting the Madonna among the Angels and, at his feet, the Saints Bartolomeo, Antonio and Sebastiano.
