Hermitage of Sant'Egidio, Romanesque hermitage in Scanno, Italy.
The Hermitage of Sant'Egidio sits on a hill outside the walls of Scanno, featuring a quadrangular facade with a small circular window above the entrance.
The religious structure dates back to 1612 and received substantial restoration work in 1780 by Pasquale Mancinelli, Michele Parente, and Nicola Ricciotti.
The interior contains a fresco of Saint Giles above a simple altar, while the entrance displays stoups with masks depicting faces of fantastic animals.
Visitors can reach the hermitage by following the designated path from Scanno, which leads directly to this religious monument on Sant'Egidio hill.
The door lintel bears an inscription from 1675 marking the year when residents sought Saint Giles's protection during a widespread plague outbreak.
