Santi Cosma e Damiano is a Roman Catholic church in the town of Isernia in the region of Molise, Italy.
History
A chapel at the hilltop at this site was founded circa 1130, and by the 14th century, a new church was erected dedicated to the Saints Cosmas and Damian (Italian: Santi Cosma e Damiano). The main altar was built in 1639 and houses a 16th-century canvas depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints and Cardinal Numaio.[1] While bishop of the town, the Cardinal Numaio placed the church and its property under the property of the diocese.[2]
The altar of the Virgin of the Addolorata (1744) is to the right of the nave. The altar of the Crucifixion on the left dates to 1645.[3]
