San Silvestro, L'Aquila, Gothic Roman Catholic church in L'Aquila, Italy.

The church building features three naves culminating in polygonal arches, with a wooden roof structure and a prominent gothic rose window in its facade.

The construction of San Silvestro occurred between the 13th and 14th centuries, initiated by residents of Castello di Brincioni and documented in records from 1350.

The Branconio chapel previously contained a 1520 Visitation altarpiece by Raphael, now located in the Museo del Prado in Madrid after its 1655 removal.

The building currently undergoes restoration work following structural damage from the 2009 earthquake that affected numerous buildings in L'Aquila's historic center.

Near the entrance stands an early 16th-century fresco by Francesco da Montereale depicting the Enthroned Madonna and Child with distinct artistic elements.
