The main church of San Giuliano, of romantic origin, was destroyed by the earthquake of 1456, later it was renovated, but in 1730 it was again modified, rebuilt and transformed.

"THE NEW VILLAGE"

During the early stages of the earthquake in Molise, a temporary village of wooden houses was built to accommodate the displaced people of the town with a school, municipal offices, barracks and shops. The village was progressively abandoned with the reconstruction of the main village. Currently the village is completely uninhabited.
