Church of Saints Niccolò and Cataldo is a hidden gem outside the historic center, built by the Normans in 1180 within the monumental cemetery. It blends Romanesque and Gothic styles with an original rose window and Romanesque portal, while Giuseppe Cino added the Baroque facade in 1716.

The church was built first in 1180; the monumental cemetery surrounded it later in the 19th century. The setting adds to its peaceful, contemplative atmosphere.
FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) is Italy's National Trust, protecting and managing historic and natural sites across Italy, similar to the UK's National Trust.
