In Leonessa, in the middle of the corso of St. Joseph is the church of Santa Maria del Popolo or of the Priests, so called because between the XV and XVI century they merged the parish priests of the Sesti (districts).
The church, dating back to 1300, was expanded in the second half of the fifteenth century due to the great importance it had acquired.
From a single nave to three aisles, and the red local stone facade was expanded in continuity with the original.
The portal is decorated with rich symbolic motifs.
In 1736 it became Collegiate with 12 canons.
