In the main square, well known as Largo of the Caste, is the yellow-painted Baroque Carmelite Church del Carmine, holding within its interior a painting by Onofrio Avellino of the Virgin Mary with Saint Simon Stock and angels.[1] On the square stands a statue of S. Antonino Abbate. The shopping street Via San Cesareo leads off the square to the west.
