Basilica di San Giuseppe Artigiano, Minor basilica in L'Aquila, Italy.

The basilica features three naves supported by Corinthian pillars, with side aisles covered by brick domes and barrel vaults in the lateral apses.

Constructed between 1250 and 1254 by settlers from Amiterno, the church received official recognition through Pope Alexander IV's papal bull in 1256.

The interior preserves a significant 15th-century mausoleum dedicated to Pietro Lalle Camponeschi, which holds the status of national monument of Italy.

Following extensive restoration after the 2009 earthquake, the basilica reopened in 2012 with renewed liturgical furnishings and a new pipe organ installation.

During recent restoration work, workers discovered 13th-century Giottesque school frescoes in the apse area, adding to the building's historical documentation.
