Historic Churches of Abruzzo

Abruzzo’s spiritual landscape is defined by architectural diversity, ranging from the pink-and-white stone facade of L’Aquila’s Santa Maria di Collemaggio to the Romanesque Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere overlooking the Adriatic. This collection spans major pilgrimage sites like Lanciano’s Sanctuary of the Eucharistic Miracle and remote mountain retreats like the Hermitage of Sant’Onofrio al Morrone. Visitors can explore Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque styles across coastal cathedrals and high-altitude hermitages that have served as centers of worship and monastic life for centuries.
