The church was rebuilt in the 18th century, but retains its original 11th-century exposed stone bell tower, creating a pleasant contrast between the austere lines of the bell tower and the Baroque care of the main structure. Located above the street, it is easily visible from below.

Side by side, the two churches of San Grato. The older one dates back to the 17th century, modified in the 19th century with the addition of two side naves—certainly useful, but they gave the whole structure a "squeezed" proportion. It was replaced in 1970 by the new church: today it is deconsecrated and somewhat neglected, but it remains interesting. The new church is next to the older one, separated by a secular building: it combines a Romanesque-style overall structure with modern forms in the pillars and architraves supporting the portico. In my opinion, it's more interesting than beautiful, but to each their own. That said, if you're passing through the town of Cafasse (even if only to avoid the traffic on the main road), it's worth stopping by.

An 18th-century chapel, it was restored in a modern style in the 20th century, adding the bell tower but maintaining the general structure. Of particular interest is the mosaic depicting Saint Anthony the Abbot with his characteristic pig.
