The shrine of Saint Joseph of Leonessa is a good example of baroque architecture.
It preserves the remains of the saint, among which the still intact heart is enclosed in a seventeenth-century silver reliquary box.
The sanctuary is the heart of the town of Leonessa that venerates the saint as its heavenly patron.
In the sanctuary, one finds the Museum Don Pio Palla that preserves sacred vestments and objects dating back to the era of construction of the sanctuary.
The organ was made by the German organ builder Giovanni Corrado Werlè (1759).
