Santa Maria della Rocca, Gothic church in Offida, Italy
Santa Maria della Rocca exhibits architectural elements including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a square-base bell tower topped with an octagonal pyramid cusp.
The Benedictine monks initiated the construction of the current structure in 1330, partially demolishing the former church to create a larger religious complex.
The crypt houses medieval frescoes by the Master of Offida, depicting various saints and incorporating a converted funerary urn as a holy-water basin.
The church stands on a hill with clear directional signs from multiple points in Offida, allowing visitors to explore both the structure and its surroundings.
Lead plates discovered during excavations in 1972 contain inscriptions referencing Wburga and Retrude, connecting to the original 11th-century donor Longino d'Azone.
