Former Church of San Cristoforo

13th century abbey church. The oldest piece of information from a parchment deed drawn in the church of St. Peter in 1304 by the notary Petre Venturelle de castro fossati, citing the chaplain of the Church of San Cristoforo: Marco di Maffuccio. As a member of the Monastery of Font Avellana, of Dante's memory, belonged to the order of the Camaldolese, as already the monks of San Pietro, one of the most praiseworthy in our history for the protection of forests, for the transcription of the codes and for the development of further functions. The monks lived in the adjoining house, which can also be accessed from the conserved base of the bell tower overlooking the characteristic alley that flanks the church itself. The dependence of St. Christopher from Avellana means that this was to procure the sacred furnishings and to appoint the owner from time to time. It was the seat of one of the parishes of Fossato and not because it had its own territory, but only quoad animas, it was in fact the noble parish, within that of St. Peter which included all the others. It was abandoned in 1876 and its title ended up in the church of Borgo built in the 1920s; the definitive closure to the cult occurred with the Decree of 28 October 1915; while the free transfer to the City of the Church, with attached garden and canonical house, by the General Directorate of the Fund for the Cult, is from 1936. Still preserves the original rings for the burials, in the characteristic floor with light descent, cover with wooden trusses, a gothic polygonal apse, a side transept, fragments of frescoes from 1300/1400, an eighteenth-century altar and traces of a restoration of 1820.
