CHIESA SAN GIULIANO

The church of San Giuliano, dedicated to the town's patron saint (celebrated every 27th January), is Castrovillari's most important religious monument. Of Byzantine-Norman origin (11th century), it was enlarged in the 16th century to incorporate the ancient synagogue of the Jewish quarter! Restored again in the 17th century, the church has a rich Baroque interior and preserves valuable works such as the 16th century Christ, a precious baptismal font and a 16th century oil on canvas depicting a black Madonna.
