St. Maria of Loreto Church, Monastery/Old City Hall.


The church of St. Mary of Loreto is also known to some Valenzanoans as St. Anna's Church.

The Monastery, seat of the old City Hall since 1886, was regretfully demolished in 1966. The church and remainining structures are in need of restauration.
