The archivolt

 

Long street almost huddled up Bixio Continelli is found you under a pontoon. It goes up again to 1423 and was built on behalf of the family native Caballerio of the city of Brindisi. Of great artistic interest the archivolt results from the Gothic lines embroidered with floral and anthropomorphous motives. We believe that the enormous decorative wealth of this manufactured article deserves to attentively be observed from studious of the Gothic art also to interpret the allegorical elements that appear you.

The inside also offers few elements for the modest dimensions of that that it originally was a chapel of family. They are you the coat of arms of the family Caballerio, two statues of the holy cosmas and Damiano, an altar in kind stone elegantly worked, a cloth raffigurante Sant'Irene of the first halves the XVIII century. To the outside the zone of the observable apse crossing the avenue Oronzo
