Basilica Ave Gratia Plena, Minor basilica in Torre Annunziata, Italy.
The Ave Gratia Plena Basilica stands with a single nave, barrel vault ceiling, and side chapels decorated with ornate stucco work.
The religious building was constructed in 1319 by Prince Nicolò D'Alagno and initially named Church of the Annunciation before gaining basilica status in 1979.
Local fishermen discovered a sacred Madonna icon in 1354, which later became central to the religious practices of Torre Annunziata's inhabitants.
The basilica is located in the Annunziata district on Piazza Giovanni XXIII and serves as part of the 8th deanery of the Diocese of Nola.
During the 16th century, inhabitants sought protection from the icon against pirate raids, epidemics, droughts, and Mount Vesuvius eruptions.
