Chiesa di Maria Santissima Addolorata in Sant'Anna, Catholic church in Montemiletto, Italy.
Chiesa di Maria Santissima Addolorata in Sant'Anna is a Catholic church in Montemiletto with a Latin cross plan, a barrel-vaulted nave, and baroque side chapels decorated with Dominican frescoes. A triumphal arch separates the nave from the apse at the far end.
The entrance portal displays a coat of arms belonging to the Tocco family, a noble family that left its mark on the building. The church held status as a parish church with deep connections to Dominican spiritual traditions.
The church serves as a gathering place where locals come together for religious celebrations and community events. It continues to shape the spiritual life of the area with its Catholic practices and traditions.
The church sits on Via Roma in Montemiletto and is accessed by climbing four steps at its limestone portal. After comprehensive restoration work completed between 2011 and 2012, the building is well-maintained with all water damage repaired and surfaces refinished.
The interior preserves Dominican frescoes that reflect a spiritual tradition often overlooked by casual visitors. These artworks offer a glimpse into how religious imagery was understood and valued in this community centuries ago.
