Chiesa di Santa Maria di Propezzano, Romanesque church in Morro d'Oro, Italy.
The church of Santa Maria di Propezzano is a Romanesque building in Morro d'Oro with three naves held up by large rounded arches. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch that leads into the interior.
According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to three pilgrims here in 715, which inspired construction that began between 930 and 960. This reported vision launched the site as a place of devotion.
Inside, you will find frescoes from 1499 showing visions of the Virgin Mary and miraculous events that drew pilgrims for centuries. These paintings shaped how people understood the spiritual significance of this place.
From Teramo, take the S.S. 80 road heading toward Giulianova and turn at San Nicolo a Tordino to reach the church. Look for signs near the sports facilities to find your way.
The left doorway, called Porta Santa, opens only twice a year on May 10 and Ascension Day. These rare openings connect the church to ancient pilgrimage customs that visitors still come to experience.
