Description

At present the site is not accessible due to construction work. The information here below dates from the 1970s.

The passage of the Second World War frontline across the Apennine ridge was devastating in these areas and religious buildings perhaps bore the brunt of the destruction due to their intentional visibility and large (capacious) volumes.

Arched structures and Gothic-style windows made of stone blocks cut into trapezoids attest to a high level of architectural quality, as do the masonry facings of stone blocks regularly squared according to the building rules of the 13th and 14th centuries.
