Chiesa di San Giacomo - Ponna

Of Romanesque origin, the church is built on an artificial terrace, in a panoramic position. Inside there is a single nave, with lateral niches, which ends with a rectangular presbytery where it is possible to admire the polychrome marble altar with a small temple and a 17th century altarpiece; on the south side of the latter there is the sacristy. The internal decoration with frescoes dates back to the 18th century. and another valuable work is the marble group depicting the "Madonna with Child and Saint John". Externally, the main façade, built in 1725, has squared stone ashlars in the central part enclosed on the sides by pilasters and at the top by a plastered triangular pediment. The bell tower, located on the left side of the church, has a square plan. On the opposite side it is possible to admire a sundial dated 1673.
