Basilica of the Holy Face

The Basilica of the Holy Face exhibits Renaissance Revival architecture with detailed frescoes, altarpieces, and ornate decorations throughout its interior spaces.

The construction of this religious complex began in 1620, leading to its recognition as a minor basilica following Pope Benedict XVI's visit in 2006.

The basilica houses the Holy Face of Manoppello, a transparent veil containing an image that draws pilgrims seeking spiritual connection through this religious artifact.

Located at coordinates 42.24995, 14.062383, the basilica provides year-round access to visitors with regular guided tours explaining its religious significance.
