History and description

A place of worship at the site was present in the paleochristian era, aided by the presence of burial catacombs. Initially called the church of Spirito Santo (Holy Spirit). When the church was rebuilt, it incorporated also an oratory or church dedicated to San Vito. The interior contains an altar by the school of Antonello Gagini, and a 15th-century statue depicting St Michael Archangel. The facade has a decorative frieze and volutes linking to the aisles. The bell-tower has some moorish designs.
