The ‘case a corte’ of the historic centre of Botrugno are certainly worth visiting. The Marquis Palace dates to the 16^th century and was built as a defensive structure. It was restored several times and made more and more beautiful. It has a rectangular plan and its façade has a beautiful portal and a large balcony. The Mother Church is  dedicated to the Holy Spirit. It was built on the rests of the Chapel of St Rocco (16^th century). In the original structure there were only three altars and now there are nine baroque altars. The façade is sober and elegant with three portals. The former Convent of the Minor Observant Friars dates to the 16^th century. Next to the convent there is the Church of Our Lady of Constantinople. Its façade has a beautiful portal. Inside the tourist can visit its fine altars, the sepulchral monument of Raffaele Maremonti some beautiful paintings such as a Byzantine painting of the 15^th century showing a Virgin with the Child. The Chapel of Our Lady of the Serra and the Chapel of Our Lady of the Carmine date to the 20^th century and are very simple. The Chapel of St Solomo is in the countryside but is in very bad conditions. The patron saint of Botrugno is St Oronzo and the population celebrates him on August 26^th.  

The nickname of the people of Botrugno is ‘‘ciucci’’ which means donkeys. The legend says that when the people of Botrugno had to change the strings of the church-bells they decided to replace them with some long resistant vine-shoots. A foreign farmer came to Botrugno with his donkey and decided to close it into the church because he had a few thing to do. When the donkey saw the vine-shoots, it run to eat them and every bite was a bell ring, a strange bell ring as strange as the people of Botrugno had never heard before! They all thought the bells were ringing on their own and believed this was a miracle, but, when they opened the church and saw the donkey, they felt actually disappointed.
