The church of the Annunciation was founded in Cervaro in 1415.
It had a hospital-hospice to house pilgrims and poor strangers who often passed in this area at the base of the mountain on the path between Monte Cassino and Rome.
The church is a beautiful building in Baroque style, restored after the war.
The facade is adorned with columns and a pediment top with bas-reliefs.
On the entablature (frieze) are the words of the Annunciation: ‘Ave gratia plena’.
Inside the church are paintings including a Via Crucis and sculptures of Giovanni De Marco.
On the great altar is a painting by Vincenzo Tarallo from1898 depicting the Annunciation.
