The church of San Famiano was built in 1155 over the grotto in Gallese where the patron saint was buried, near the river Rio Maggiore.
It was remodeled in 1244 and again between 1624 and 1723.
The church has a portico of the sixteenth century on four arches that correspond to the four inner aisles on the first level.
The upper level consists of a unique space and is accessed by two staircases.
Inside there are frescoes dating back to the sixteenth century.
The crypt is the saint's body in a marble sarcophagus of 1733.
The bell tower is a continuation of the fourth nave.
The convent attached to the basilica was the guesthouse where pilgrims were housed during their journeys.
