Serrone. Church of St Quirico

The church of St Quirico is a simple building in Serrone and was completed in 1607.

It is adjacent to a building that was entrusted to the "Zoccolanti brothers" or Franciscans. The friars were granted land to earn an income and maintain the church.

In the church in March 1650, a serious matter occurred about which there is no record except that the church was banned and de-consecrated.

Only many years after did the locals raise the funds to re-consecrate it.

Near the church is a Christian cemetery dating back to the times of the Roman Empire.
