This large structure, named "centopietre" is located just opposite San Giovanni Battista. It is believed, that "Centopietre" was built as a funerary monument in the 9th century for Geminiano, a knight killed by the Saracens. It is erected out of 100 limestone blocks from the near town of Vereto, that was completely destroyed by the Saracens.
