Basilica di Sant'Andrea
History
One of the most beautiful churches in the region and should not be missed. Completed in 1227, you'll find green, red, and white stones that came from all over the region to create a fully gothic style throughout the whole church. You might not be able to go inside depending on the hour you arrive, but it's just nice to admire from the outside.
