Santissima Annunziata, Ascoli Piceno, Medieval church in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.

The Santissima Annunziata features two distinct cloisters, with the larger one displaying octagonal pilasters supporting a surrounding loggiato structure.

Originally constructed as a hospital in the 13th century, the complex was transferred to Augustinian nuns in 1250 by Peter of Verona.

Every March 25th since 1482, local residents have conducted processions to the church to commemorate the city's Libertà Ecclesiastica granted by Pope Sixtus IV.

The complex currently houses the School of Architecture and Design of Unicam after serving various functions including an agricultural school and orphanage.

The church contains a 1519 lunette mural depicting Christ's Climb to Cavalry, created by Cola dell'Amatrice on the refectory's western wall.
