Santuario di Sant'Anna, Catholic shrine in Lettere, Italy
The Santuario di Sant'Anna stands with a single nave measuring thirty-six meters in length, ten meters in width, and sixteen meters in height.
Construction of the church began in 1570 after Pope Pius V approved the replacement of the previous cathedral near Lettere Castle, completing the structure in 1600.
The church contains a wooden statue of Saint Anne from 1503, commissioned by Antonio Mirobello, and displays numerous religious artifacts in its sacristy.
Visitors enter through a piperno stone staircase leading to a bronze portal weighing two thousand kilograms, created by sculptor Tommaso Gismondi in 1982.
The church features a 32-meter Moorish bell tower from 1706, divided into four levels with an octagonal bell chamber at its summit.
