Inside the church

The church of Sant'Orso was built at the very beginning of the 13th century, but it took on its present appearance in the first half of the 17th century, after reconstruction and enlargement work. It is built on a rectangular plan, with an octagonal domed presbytery. The interior has carved and gilded wooden altars with spiral columns from the 18th century and the high altar is richly decorated in Baroque style. The 1772 organ, rebuilt in 1872 and extended in 1969, has 1636 pipes.
