The small 15th-century church is dedicated to Saint Quirico and his mother Giulitta, who were martyred in the year 304 during the persecution ordered by Emperor Diocletian, and it is located in Sona. The Order of the Dominicans used it as a lazaretto during the plague of 1630, as evidenced by the unusual oval windows on the façade, which were used to feed the plague-stricken who were kept isolated from the rest of the population.

The church consists of: a handcrafted stone portal surmounted by a capital with a tempera painting of Saint Quirino. Windows with grates, a rose window, a small sacristy.
