Ruined Franciscan convent dedicated to Saint Anthony (early 14th century). The name comes from the Latin word Frari, as the meaning Franciscan friars were called.
Here starts his religious career Peter Filargos, who is elected as Antipope (in 1409) with the name Alexander V.
Close to the temple, at position Vigli, you will see a modern sculpture, where the Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of May.
