The church of Santa Maria della Pietà is the collegiate church of Cori, and was built on a Roman temple perhaps dedicated to the goddess Diana and Fortuna.
The original Romanesque building dates back to the 12th century but the church underwent a major transformation in the 17th century. Next to the church is the oratory of the Gonconone Archconfraternity.
The interior has 3 naves and contains many treasures such as a twelfth-century paschal candle chandelier which is the oldest known and was made by artists from Cassino.
Another valuable work is a 12th century Cosmatesque sarcophagus and a 16th century painting of the Madonna del Rosario.
