Home Cultural Itineraries Visit to the Church of Purgatory

Description

Flanking Via Regina Margherita, its main entrance is on Via Baldi.
This single-nave church, documented since 1669, underwent a vault restoration in 2014. A distinctive feature of the church is the crypt, which houses "colatoi" (drainers) for drying the deceased. These consist of plaster seats with a central hole to collect the body's fluids. After the initial phase, the bodies were hung in niches and subsequently, as they deteriorated, placed in the ossuary.
