Panorama |
|
View of the delicious Rivello town, surrounded by a lovely environment. Town's characteristic is the huge presence of churches (about 35 churches for a 3000 people population) due to the presence of both Byzantines and Lombards who settled and dominated the country at the same time. Some of these churches have been turned to non-religious functions.

St. Nicholas of the Greeks Mother Church |

View of the ancient St. Nicholas of the Greeks Church situated on the west part of the town. The entrance staircase has embodied the previous Byzantine Church of St. Nicholas of the Greeks. The Mother church is mainly a baroque building.

St. Antony's Convent |

The beautiful little column in close up shows a medieval capital dating back to the foundation of the convent. The cloister was the centre of friars' claustral life and today hosts the Civic Museum.
