The church of saint Hermes in Ischia di Castro was rebuilt in the second half of 1700 by architect Filippo Prada of Viterbo.
The facade is of Baroque style and the interior is divided into three naves with side chapels.
Inside there are many works of artistic interest, including the travertine baptismal font of 1538 which was donated by the Farnese.
The water source is inserted in an octagonal pool with carvings made by sculptor Antonio Canova who had been appointed 'Marquis of Castro' by Pope Pius VII.
