Chiesa Matrice dell’Immacolata

The Mother Church of the Immaculate Conception (Chiesa Matrice dell’Immacolata) is Castelsilano's main religious building, built between the late 17th and early 18th centuries by the feudal Rota family, founders of the ancient hamlet of Casino. Located in the central square, it features a simple façade enriched with symbolic elements, and an interior that preserves works of art, furnishings, and testimonies to the town's strong Marian devotion. It is a historical and identifying landmark for the community, also linked to the figure of the Venerable Maria Eufrasia Iaconis.
