Church of St Benedict Abbot

The Church of Saint Benedict Abbot overlooks the village of Caporciano from above and is the community's most important religious building. Built in the 16th century, it represents a harmonious example of the transition between Renaissance style, evident in the portal dated 1554, and Neoclassical elements introduced during interior renovations. The sober and linear gabled facade is embellished by the carved stone portal, while the three-aisled interior is distinguished by white stucco, elegant capitals, and geometric brightness. Among the valuable works, mention should be made of altars made of local stone, refined canvases, and a valuable wooden organ. The massive bell tower, in addition to housing the bells, stands tall over the village rooftops, recalling the area's watchtowers and testifying to the strategic importance of the site along the transhumance routes.
