The romanic parish church in the nearby
Only 500 meters away from the castle there is the parish church of S. Stefano a Campòli. It's a big church and would be the ideal place for those who look for a church near Il Palagio.
There is evidence it has been built around the IX° century b. C. and two priests, who would have been popes in the future, Clement VII° and Leone X°, have been parsons there. You can easily walk there from Il Palagio, among olive trees and vineyards.
Anyway there are many other beautiful churches, just a few kilometres away.
