Canepina. Church of Saint Michael Archangel

Canepina. Church of Saint Michael Archangel

The church of San Michele Arcangelo was built in Canepina on a small church dedicated to Santa Maria del Fossatello built during the plague in 1476.

At the end of the sixteenth century, the Carmelite friars of the adjoining convent enlarged and rearranged it.

For this reason, in this town it is also known by the name of "the friars church" even if it is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel.

The complex, but not the church, is owned by the municipality.
