Tolfa. Church of the Crucifix

The small church of the Crucifix in Tolfa was erected in 1644 to house a crucifix considered "miraculous".

Today it is protected in a case behind the high altar.

The church has a single nave with a side chapel and a vaulted barrel vault.

This is the seat of the Brotherhood della Misericordia e Umiltà of San Giovanni Decollato and from here the Good Friday ceremonies start.
