Caution! Two people are needed to operate the barrier! If the driver pays, the barrier will close before you get back in. €10 is pretty steep!

The church was begun at the beginning of the seventeenth century and completed in 1717. In 1740, embellishment works were carried out. The wall paintings were painted by Luigi Pollero in 1810. The main façade consists of two levels delimited by cornices and surmounted by a triangular pediment with three acroteria. On the first level, on either side of the portal, there are two niches that house the statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter. The church ends in a semicircular apse. The bell tower rises at the junction of the apse and the right side façade. It has five floors that end in a dome surmounted by a cross. The interior consists of a nave and five richly decorated side chapels. On either side of the altar there are caryatid angels.
