Chiesa della SS. Annunziata, Catholic church in Paestum, Italy
The Chiesa della SS. Annunziata features a simple architectural design with a central nave flanked by two rows of ancient columns and a prominent apse.
The church structure dates from the 5th century and underwent major modifications in the 12th century when it was expanded into three naves using repurposed columns.
The central apse contains remnants of 11th-century frescoes that represent the artistic and religious expression of medieval Italian craftsmanship.
The church belongs to the Diocese of Vallo della Lucania and maintains regular opening hours for visitors who wish to explore its historical architecture.
A restoration project in the late 20th century lowered the floor to its original level, revealing previously hidden ancient columns within the structure.
