Chiesa di San Francesco Saverio di Roseto Valfortore
The small church of San Francesco Saverio is elegantly inserted between the houses with its striking stone facade.
The place
Founded in 1832 by the archpriest Saverio Farace then became Bishop of Bovino, it is the only place of worship in the upper part of the country. It was long closed, but in 1938 the Farace family completely restored it and reopened it for worship.
The building, located near the beautiful nineteenth-century fountain of the "Title", has a simple stone façade crowned by a tympanum broken by a bell tower. Here, too, the entrance portal in rosette grey stone is sculpted with the theme of the dog rose. The austere interior and a single nave preserves the statue of its founder.
