Chiesa Matrice di San Giorgio
(Via Marconi)
In town, the 16th-century Chiesa Matrice di San Giorgio, with its dressed-up
Madonnas, houses the tomb of Joachim Murat, brother of Napoleon and one-time king of
Naples. Although he was the architect of enlightened reforms, the locals showed no great
concern when Murat was imprisoned and executed here.
