The church of Santa Croce (Santa Rughe) dates from the 17th century.
Divided into two sections by a trachyte cornice, the façade culminates in a bell-gable that bestows verticality.
The round entrance portal is framed by two small columns with moulded bases and capitals decorated with stylised plant motifs.
Above the portal, a rectangular window illuminates the interior while the side elevations, reinforced with buttresses, help bestow harmony on the building.
The church is made up of a single nave without chapels, marked by two pointed arches and a presbytery with a barrel vault, which appears to be bordered by an arch supported by stone pilasters with finely worked bases and capitals.
Inside, there is an extraordinary gilded, multicoloured wooden altar, a masterpiece in the Baroque style dating from the middle of the 18th century.
A niche at the centre enclosed by four columns decorated with scrolls houses a multicoloured wooden statue of the Ecce Homo, dating from the 18th century. Above the niche, a fastigium frames a painting depicting Christ with acanthus leaves while a multicoloured chest above the altar preserves the statue of Christ of the Deposition.
At the sides of the high altar, there are two niches in finely worked stone that house the eighteenth-century wooden statues of the Angel of the Annunciation, Saint John the Baptist and Our Lady of Sorrows.
A second multicoloured wooden altar, also dating from the 18th century, enriches the interior, together with a statue of San Bartolomeo, to which a solemn feast day is dedicated.
