The interior is enriched by pilasters supporting a high entablature, above which large stained-glass windows fill the church with natural light.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"934\">The decorative scheme is elegant and refined, with gilded mouldings and ornamental details throughout. Above the main entrance stands a modest choir loft with a simple three-part balustrade, housing a historic pipe organ.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1191\">From the chapel beside the apse, visitors can access the <strong data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1014\">Confession Chapel<\/strong>, an intimate room with a coffered ceiling, a colourful marble altar and a mosaic depicting sacred scenes. It also preserves a shrine containing a statue of the <strong data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1190\">Dead Christ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1546\">The church&#8217;s restrained stone fa\u00e7ade is preceded by a broad staircase and framed by pilasters supporting a broken triangular pediment. The central portal is crowned by a circular stained-glass window, while the adjoining bell tower rises in three progressively narrower levels before ending with a pediment echoing the architectural style of the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"2062\">The flat ceiling of the nave is decorated with a large painting completed in <strong data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1633\">1973<\/strong> by <strong data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1655\">Father Macario<\/strong>, portraying <strong data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1689\">Our Lady of Grace<\/strong> together with <strong data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1720\">Saint Andrew<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1725\" data-end=\"1741\">Saint Martin<\/strong>, the latter shown sharing his cloak with a poor man.

The most significant renovations took place between <strong data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2727\">1972 and 1977<\/strong>, when much of the building and the bell tower were extensively rebuilt, giving the church much of its present appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0% !important;padding-right : 15% !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0% !important;padding-left : 15% !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-right : 8% !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-left : 8% !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-1 { overflow:visible; }.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La chiesa \u00e8 ubicata nella piazza principale di Campora e ne rappresenta la quinta scenografica per chi, provenendo dalla zona bassa della frazione, si dirige verso San Lazzaro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[192],"tags":[173],"class_list":["post-4601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-churches","tag-punti-di-interesse"],"lang":"gb","translations":{"gb":4601},"pll_sync_post":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4601"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4978,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions\/4978"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iloveagerola.it\/kiosk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
