In the east part of San
Sigismondo country you can find Nostra Signora Church. In 1621, on the
place where already in Century XV there was a temple, it was built up a
 Chapel
that became the destination of pilgrimage to “Madre Dolorosa”. In 1680
a new construction was built and between 1765 and 1766 it had the
modifications with which you can see now. The Church, dipped in the
serenity of the lawns and opportunely distant from the State road
N.49/E66, has a dome that rests on angular pillars decorates with
capitals of stucco. Inside of the dome you can see the History of Ester
with the four Evangelists in the spandrels. The decoration of the dome
has been realized creating a remarkable effect of depth and distance
with an architecture with arcades in front of which the personages are
represents to you. In the choir, with
star-shaped
vault, the three Divine
Virtues and  the
Costanza are
painted. The frescoes have been realized from the painter Josef Anton
Zoller (1730-1791). The column altar in marbled stucco date back to
1766. The Nostra Signora Church has considered a real jewel of the
Baroque.
