San Baronto, situated at 349 metres above the sea level, has been built around the main church, that used to be a monastery until the eighteenth century and a landmark for the entire community. The current church has been totally rebuilt after the last war, nonetheless you can still admire the crypt belonging to the original building, composed by five naves closed by three apses, that are separated by columns. The crypt has notable intact frescos dated at XIV and XV century.
