The Church of Sant´Apollinare in Cattolica is perhaps one of the oldest in the city. Today is visible the reconstruction by Gaetano Cupioli dated back to 1782, but its origins date back to the second half of the thirteenth century, as evidenced by a papyrus of Ravenna that speaks of the worship place in the fort of Cattolica, but the dedication to Sant´ Apollinare has been witnessed since 1313. Another church dedicated to Sant´Apollinare is in Casteldimezzo, from where many of the common people had moved to Cattolica. This church was governed primarily by the order of Benedictine monks until the late eighteenth century, a period in which the monks of Montecassino in Ravenna made build the bell tower with a clock, as evidenced by a plaque at its base. Inside there are some noteworthy works of art, such as a beautiful crucifixion of the second half of the seventeenth century, attributed to the school of Cesare Laurentini, known as Arrigoni, who leaved in this work of art a fine example of local baroque. The altarpiece depicting San Sebastiano and San Rocco is the work of Basearini; Cattolica finally appears in the background of two small paintings, the first one is Sant´Andrea Pescatore, while in the second one we find a nice gentle Madonna Regina del Mare between San Vitale and Sant´Apollinare.
