Tourism in Castell'Umberto

The Cathedral Church

Consecrated to San Francesco d'Assisi (St. Francis of Assisi), the Church is the only sacred building remained in these places of 37 buildings once exstant.

The inside structure shows three naves and five altars very precious, two made in Corinthian order and one in Tuscan order.

In it are still kept most of original furnitures.

Among these it is possible to admire, into a niche surmounting the beginning of the right aisle, a precious marble statue representing Santa Caterina da Siena (St. Cathrine of Siena) attributable to Antonello Gagini (1478-1536).
