San Vittorino, Mannerist church in Villa Grotti, Cittaducale, Italy.
The San Vittorino church displays a stone facade with architectural elements characteristic of late Renaissance design, standing above a natural spring.
Following its completion in 1613, the church structure collapsed into a sinkhole, leaving behind ruins that remain visible in their current state.
The submerged church ruins served as a filming location for the 1983 film Nostalghia, directed by Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky.
Visitors can access the church ruins through a marked trail with wooden planks that cross over waterlogged areas near Terme di Cotilia.
A natural spring flows through the abandoned structure, creating a pool of mineral water that streams out from the former church entrance.
