Rock church of San Corrado di Fuori
Rock church - Medieval age
The cave acts as a side chapel to the eighteenth-century church of the same name. It is a small room, with an entrance to the east, with a rectangular plan and a flat ceiling, with an apse at the bottom with a canteen altar that is no longer in place. A low subsellium is preserved along the wall of the NW corner. They remain
three layers of plaster and traces of frescoes.
