Santa Sabina, Medieval church ruins in San Benedetto dei Marsi, Italy.
The Santa Sabina church displays a preserved Romanesque portal with four marble columns and carved lion statues at its base.
The church served as the episcopal seat of Marsi from 1057 until 1580, when Pope Gregory XIII transferred the authority to Pescina.
Following the death of Saint Berardo in 1130, the church housed his relics, making it a significant religious destination in the Abruzzo region.
The remaining facade stands near the archaeological site of ancient Marruvium, offering visitors insights into both medieval and Roman architecture.
The 1915 Marsica earthquake demolished most of the structure, leaving only the front facade with its thirteenth-century portal intact.
