History

Near Corso Langhe you can find some structures of the end of the XIII century that belonged to a rural chapel dedicated to Saint Margherita of Antiochia. In particular you will note a semicircular apse enriched with three single-lancet windows and little bows in the upper part. This chapel has a late romanesque, almost gothic style.

The building has been recently renewed. Today it belongs to the parish of Saint Margherita.

You can visit the building only from the outside.
