View of the Church of the Madonna of mount CarmelThe Church of the Madonna del Carmine is on a hill in the hamlet (frazione) of Petrisi, the lower division of the town.  

    Very little is known about this church, except that it was built before the year 1500 and that in 1575 a public meetinglateral view was held in order to discuss repairs.

 

    Throughout the years, the faithful have always contributed to its upkeeping.  

    In the past, it used to be part of Ancient wella larger compound; today only a few crumbled walls withstand. 

 

    The compound, on the whole, used to require a massive water supply which was drawn directly from an underground tank. 

    The well  has given way to many legends and is still visible today.
