The church of St. Erasmus is the oldest church in Ciciliano and is located right next to the heart of the Theodoli fortress on the highest point of the village. It was originally the church of the village but in 1755 Gerolamo Theodoli decided to build a new large cult building to protect the nearby image of a Madonna with Child.
Gerolamo Theodoli was a great architect and among his works we include the great Argentina theater in Rome, but for some reason the population did not like the church and financed the construction of another larger sacred building just 20 meters away.
