Church with Historic Details

Marcena is home to the parish church Chiesa della Conversione di San Paolo. It dates from the 15th century and houses an organ built in 1763. A bas-relief on the side door depicts San Romedio with a bear. The church thus combines its period of construction, musical heritage and a clearly recognisable religious motif. This combination in particular makes it a tangible cultural focus for your stay in Marcena.

The Anello tra Rumo e Passo Fresna Circular Trail
