On the road leading to the hamlet of Porchia stands the Church of Sant'Antonio. The church dates back to the 17th century, built in the early 1640s by the municipality under the invocation of Santa Maria a Capo di Valle. In the 19th century, the façade was reconstructed. The original church was modified with the introduction of Neo-Gothic elements, typical of the 19th century.
The façade features a portico with three pointed arches framed in terracotta. The portico is open in the center, while the two lateral arches are filled in with brick walls. The central arch is supported by octagonal brick pillars. In the central band above the arches is a blind oculus, and the façade is crowned by a pediment decorated with low pinnacles and terracotta dentil moldings. The main portal has a frame made of vertically set bricks, forming a pointed arch above the entrance. The façade’s bichromatic scheme creates a play of tones, from the reddish-brown of the bricks in the cornices and arch frames to the light background of the wall surfaces.
