The most beautiful religious buildings Italy

Rebuilt in the th century on the ruins of a more ancient church, it has numerous paintings and sculptures of the th and th centuries.

In 1630, the region was infested with plague. The citizens of the city then implore the Virgin Mary to protect them from this devastating disease and promise him back to build a church on his behalf. The construction of the latter shows that the wish was fulfilled. By entering the left, we find the illustration of this imploration of the Virgin.

It is said that the sanctuary was built on an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Minerve. It was rebuilt in 1770. In front of the sanctuary is a column that marks the end of the aqueduct of Puglia. This grandiose book, 244 km long, gives to the land and the men of the region.

Built in the 17th^century thanks to donations from the people of Monterosso, this beautifully crafted oratory is a true memento mori: the inscription engraved on its façade mortis et orationis (death and prayer) recalls that the brotherhood that ran the oratory was dedicated to helping the needy who could not afford funeral orations. This duty of the brothers is evoked in the building's interior decor, with skulls, stucco and wooden allegories of death...

Built in the 13th century by the Augustinians, the interior of this church was refurbished in the Renaissance style in the 15th century, with the addition of a portico on the left side. The building has many Renaissance paintings, especially in the Bentivoglio Chapel, which is decorated with frescoes by Lorenzo Costa. In the adjacent oratory of Santa Cecilia (access from Via Zamboni 15), frescoes by Amico Aspertini from the 16th century can also be admired.

It is very bright and decorated very carefully. And as a result, it was a church-based church that welcomed the just dead bodies of the Ducal family.
