Bominaco, Romanesque church complex in Caporciano, Italy.
The village settlement includes the Oratory of San Pellegrino and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, positioned at 974 meters above sea level.
The Castle of Bominaco emerged in the 15th century on the foundations of a 12th-century fortress built by Benedictine monks against Saracen raids.
The Oratory of San Pellegrino, designated as a national monument in 1906, exhibits numerous frescoes from its construction period in 1263.
Visitors reach the village through road connections from L'Aquila, with the site located approximately 20 minutes by car from the regional capital.
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta contains a pulpit dated 1180, although historical evidence suggests the structure predates this marking.
