Santissima Annunziata, Gothic Catholic church in Gaeta, Italy.

The Santissima Annunziata features a single nave divided into four bays with cross vaults and contains numerous baroque decorative elements and polychrome marble features.

Founded in 1320 outside the city walls near the sea, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1621, transforming its structure while preserving Gothic walls and ogival vaults.

The main altar displays a large 1521 polyptych by Andrea Sabatini depicting scenes from Jesus and Virgin Mary's lives, complemented by Sebastiano Conca's 18th-century paintings.

The church maintains regular religious services and opens its doors to visitors who can examine the architectural details, art collections, and historical religious artifacts.

The Golden Chapel contains 18 canvas paintings by Criscuolo, features a wooden coffered ceiling with gilded floral panels, and holds Scipione Pulzone's 1582 Immaculate Conception painting.
