Chiesa di San Tommaso Becket, Romanesque church in Caramanico Terme, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Tommaso Becket displays a natural pink stone facade with a central portal featuring Christ and the twelve apostles in high relief.

The construction of the church began in 1202 and finished in 1219, with Pope Honorius III granting apostolic protection to the religious building.

Local residents gather at the church for religious ceremonies and participate in an annual patron saint celebration that replaced the traditional countryside blessing procession.

Located 6 kilometers from the center of Caramanico Terme within Majella National Park, the church maintains regular visiting hours for religious services.

The church crypt contains an ancient water well that suggests the building stands on the site of a former pagan temple dedicated to water worship.
