CURIOSITA'
THE OLD CHURCH OF SAN SEBASTIANO
The library of Montopoli, before its restoration, was the main church in the village called by the Montopolese the bad church or San Sebastiano in Pretoriolo.
The church was functional for the inhabitants of the nearby castle of Bocchignano to garrison the Via Farfense, but then became the parish church of Montopoli until the entire 14th century.
Substituted in its parish function by the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, it first became the church of the nobility-until 1700 when the Church of Our Lady of Grace was erected-and once deconsecrated was used to house plague victims and transformed into a lazaret, under municipal management, with an adjoining cemetery
