Saint Peter and Paul church in Pescasseroli

The church features three naves with cross vaults, pointed arches, and a late Renaissance facade with an ornate stone portal and bell tower.

First documented in 1115 through a papal bull by Pope Paschal II, the church underwent reconstruction after the 1349 earthquake in late Gothic Abruzzese style.

The Black Madonna of the Incoronata, a wooden statue preserved in the left nave altar, represents a central element of local religious devotion.

The church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, artworks, and religious artifacts throughout the year.

The interior restoration in 1937 revealed original 15th-century artistic and architectural features that were hidden under baroque decorations for centuries.
