Description

In the village of Chiaramonti there is a church dedicated to Santa Giusta. Here it seems that there was a spring whose water was able to cure every disease. Over the years several believers received the grace of the saint, and wanted to leave gifts and goods, so a great treasure was accumulated. One day four bandits tried to steal the gold, but they were trapped in the church and drowned under the water that came out of the spring. Shortly before they died, the men repented, apologizing to Saint Justa, and she saved their souls by putting them in protection of the treasure for eternity. Today are clearly visible 4 skulls walled in at the main entrance. Directions : The church is a little more than 1 km from Chiaramonti, on the left side of the Provinciale 75.
