Santuario della Madonna della Portella

The sanctuary features Renaissance architecture with three entrance doors, six front-facing windows, and a dual-sloped roof above the main structure.

Built in 1589 to expand an existing religious building, the sanctuary underwent major renovations in 1802 and received structural repairs after the roof collapse in 1875.

The sanctuary holds regular religious services, including the traditional feast celebration on the first Tuesday after Pentecost and summer masses every Tuesday.

The religious site stands along the old highway 17, following the Via degli Abruzzi path, and remains accessible through the maintained Celano-Foggia track.

The interior contains a single hall with a barrel vault, alternating arches, and a marble balustrade decorated with gypsum angels separating the elevated presbytery.
