"The Church of Sant’Andrea degli Armeni is located in the ancient borough of Taranto. Built in the 14th century and rebuilt in 1573, it was restored in 2008 and is now the heart of a participatory project for cultural heritage enhancement, involving local residents directly.\n\nThe church's façade features typical 16th-century elements, with four pilasters and a pediment adorned by the Capitignano coat of arms. Higher up, two statues depict a woman and a man with symbols likely linked to Armenian culture.\n\nThe interior consists of a single nave, with a raised presbytery introduced by a triumphal arch. The altar features stucco decorations with reliefs dating from the 17th to 18th centuries."
