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

San Silvestro is a Gothic church in L'Aquila with a white marble façade and a large rose window. Its interior has three naves with ogival arches ending in polygonal apses, and a wooden roof. The bell tower was added in the 19th century.

The church was built by the inhabitants of Collebrincioni, who contributed to the founding of L'Aquila in the 13th century; a predecessor building on the city walls dates to 1265 or 1285. The present structure is documented from 1350, after the earthquakes of 1315 and 1349, and its white marble façade and presbytery date to 1350 or later. Damaged in 1461 and rebuilt in Baroque taste after the 1703 earthquake, it was stripped back to its Gothic appearance between 1967 and 1969 by Mario Moretti.

The Branconio family, whose first house stood opposite the church, shaped its chapels from the 15th century. Giovanni Battista Branconio commissioned Raphael's Visitation around 1517 as a gift for his father Marino; in 1655 it was handed to Philip IV of Spain and is now in the Prado, with an anonymous copy in its place.

The building is currently undergoing restoration work due to structural damage from the 2009 earthquake that affected many historic buildings in the city. Plan your visit by checking ahead on accessible areas before arriving.

A fresco from the early 16th century by Francesco da Montereale decorates the wall near the entrance, showing the Madonna seated with the Christ Child. This work displays particular artistic characteristics that distinguish the painter's hand.
