One of the most significant Romanesque churches of the Marche, of Byzantine influence, probably built in the 11th century on the remains of a Roman building and restored between 1925 and 1932. The façade is occupied on the right by the sturdy bell tower, trunk, and on the left by a cylindrical scalar tower; among these is the ogival hallway that gives access to the interior, which has an almost square plan, with three naves divided by four sturdy cylindrical pylons on which the dome is set. The whole, with great momentum, is moved by the lateral apse and by the three apses of the back wall. To the right of the façade of the old monastery is the Speleopaleontological Museum, which houses a fossilised find of Ichthyosaurus - a marine reptile about 3 metres long, with a dolphin-like appearance, which lived in the Upper Jurassic about 150 million years ago - discovered in Camponocecchio in 1976.
