Welcoming you as you arrive in Morro d’Oro, right at the entrance to the town, is the Church of San Salvatore and San Nicola di Bari, the town’s patron saint.

The church, built in 1331, before becoming the focal point of village life, was the private chapel of the d’Acquaviva family, who controlled the territory under the D’Angiò family during the pontificate of John XXII.

Towering towards the sky, the church is characterised by a 17th-century mixed-line façade with a stone-framed portal, surmounted by a tympanum and lunette. A second entrance was built in 1933, on the right side, also framed in stone and surmounted by a lunette. On its sides are four single lancet windows, two round-arched and two with lowered arches.

Particularly noteworthy are the two bell towers on the rear wall, the main one and the smaller one, both ribbed with two bells each.

Upon entering the church, the first detail that will catch your eye is certainly the organ placed in the choir just above the main entrance, a work realized in 1758 by the famous organ builder of Marche origin, Adriano Fedri.

Inside, in the left aisle, the church keeps two precious painted and gilded Baroque altars dating from the 17th century and a stone altar dating from 1560. At the end of the nave is a chapel with a travertine altar. The central nave, on the other hand, ends in a chapel characterised by a cross-vaulted ceiling where the high altar is located.
