Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta (or Santa Sinforosa)

It is located in the highest part of the country, between the ancient houses that cling around and a small but neat little square. It seems that the cult for Santa Sinforosa is due to Pope Stephen III (768-772), for some originally from Tossicia, who ordered the translation to Tossicia of the relics of this saint tortured and martyred by Emperor Adriano together with his sons in 153.

The church was consecrated in 1438 and is made of stones and bricks. One of the two portals is on the short side and is a flat architrave surmounted by a lunette which, at the points of attack, has two sculptural heads, while on the arch key of the lunette is the Orsini coat of arms, feudal lords of the Sicilian Valley in period of the consecration of the church.

The other portal is on the long side of the building and is of clear Venetian school and is also a flat architrave surmounted by a lunette with twisted columns, decorations with floral motifs and Renaissance curves that ennoble its appearance. On the capitals, even if deteriorated by time, two statuettes depicting the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel are still visible.

Behind the church there is a quadrangular bell tower. The interior is divided into two naves, the main one being longer and ending with an apse, inside which there is a wooden altar from the Renaissance period of 1587, while the other aisle may have been added in a restructuring of the sixteenth century. Near the entrance and in the wall there is the plaque with the Cross of Indulgences that Pope Leo XIII granted in 1901.
