In the heart of the village, within the expanse of Largo Taragio square, resides the oratory of the Disciplinati di Santa Caterina. Originating in the eighteenth century, this petite edifice showcases a façade with a weathered gable. Here, a modest portal is crowned by a niche housing a statue of the saint and accompanied by a circular window.
Within its confines, a solitary chamber unfolds, its ceiling adorned with frescoes dating back to the 18th century. These murals depict the torment of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria. Within, nineteenth-century processional lights and gonfalons stand, alongside wooden crucifixes originating from the sixteenth century, as well as sculptures crafted by an enigmatic artist.
Tucked at the rear of the oratory, a vantage terrace provides a panoramic vista over the expansive sea.
