Church of St Valentine

In the Territory of the Mal Cocchiaro Fortress, following the Molarino River, and right next to the San Valentino Mill, was built by the’Atinati a temple dedicated to this very martyr, their fellow-citizen; though its form is no longer clearly discernible today, the foundations of a grand edifice and large, skilfully carved stones can still be seen at that site. For further details on what has been recounted about this church, see Chapter X of Book 5 and King Roger’s charter recorded in Chapter XI of Book 2.
