The church of the Holy Saviour is the main church of Proceno and was probably built on the site of the first fortress of the town.
The bell tower was likely to have been carved out of the small castle tower.
Today it is located in the centre of the three districts of Proceno: the Centre, the Salaiolo and the Poggio.
The church was rebuilt after the 1919 earthquake that brought down the ceiling vault.
The facade looks like a mixture of styles with the lower part in stone with a Gothic portal and the plastered and squared upper part.
On the lunette of the entrance door there is an image of the Madonna with a child in terracotta.
In the upper part of the church there are three openings: a window and two niches that house statues of saints.
The image of the Blessed Sacrament to which the church is dedicated is found in a sculpture in the rosette of the façade.
The interior has three richly decorated naves in the sixteenth century style while the vault above the main altar is still in gothic style.
There are some frescoes of the fifteenth century on the walls.
Near the altar there is an original enamelled terracotta lectern with the image of Sant'Agnese.
