Chiesa di Santa Maria di Centurelli

The Chiesa di Santa Maria di Centurelli displays classical Renaissance features with a Latin cross layout and three single-lancet windows illuminating the interior space.

The construction of the current church structure began in 1502 and reached completion in 1561, replacing an earlier religious building from the year 1000.

The church stands at the intersection of two essential shepherd paths, the L'Aquila-Foggia and Centurelle-Montesecco routes, reflecting the regional pastoral traditions.

Located at coordinates 42.268978, 13.675866, the church building is accessible from the Strada Statale 17 and falls under the management of Caporciano municipality.

The side portal matches the main entrance in design, while a dedicated portico served as shelter for shepherds traveling along the traditional migration routes.
