The church, in Romanesque style, is called the Holy Sepulchre because there is kept a stone stained with blood that is said to come from the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. The relic is housed in a crypt of the most important and characteristic in Italy for its ancient origin (X–XI century) and the characteristics of columns (24) that form the arches with a “game” of particular forms. It is a structure that reproduces in miniature the church of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and that, as an image and memory of this, it appeared to the pilgrims.
