Alatri. Church of XII Marie (12 Marys)

The Church of XII Marie is located outside the town of Alatri along the road to Fumone.

It is typical of the religious building that was being built in the fourteenth century by expanding a previous sacred shrine.

The building has a single nave and inside it are interesting frescoes with twelve representations of Mary hence the name of the church.

Some frescoes are attributed to the late Gothic painter Antonio da Alatri and his aides.
