Chiesa di Santa Maria Annunziata

Chiesa di Santa Maria Annunziata is a church in Ponte Nossa built in medieval style with stone walls and decorated interior surfaces. The interior features religious imagery and follows traditional architectural proportions from its era.

The church was founded in 1250 on the site of a former Franciscan monastery. It was built to serve as a place of worship and community gathering.

The interior contains numerous votive offerings from visitors who sought miracles, including life-size wax effigies that accumulated during the 17th century.

The building is open during daytime hours for visitors who wish to look inside. Dress respectfully and keep noise to a minimum when entering.

Local records indicate Leonardo da Vinci received a commission for the high altarpiece but never completed the work due to other commitments.
