Chiesa di Santa Maria della Libera, Romanesque church in Aquino, Italy.
The church features a portico with three arches supported by pillars, while the central portal displays a Byzantine mosaic of Madonna and Child.
Built in 1125 on the ruins of a Roman temple dedicated to Hercules, the church was commissioned by two noblewomen from the d'Aquino family.
The church contains marble sarcophagi, Roman architectural elements, and decorative features that reflect the integration of ancient and medieval architectural styles.
Located near the ancient Via Latina, the church stands as a religious monument under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Sora-Cassino-Aquino-Pontecorvo.
The portal decorations include mysterious corn-like motifs, which present a historical anomaly as corn was not known in Europe during construction.
