Segni. Church of Pratoro

The small country church of Pratoro is located outside the town of Segni along the road that leads to Roccamassima.

The church was part of a monastery built in the fifteenth century by Basilian monks, who were inspired by St. Basil the Great.

It has the classic style of country buildings with a plaster façade characterized by a central door with a cornice and a lunette in white stone.

On the sides of the door there are two small square openings and a round window in the door.

The church has a gabled roof and has a small bell tower with one bell.

The interior is a single room with a wooden gable roof and the background facade has an altar in different coloured marble with a Renaissance style painting of a breastfeeding Madonna.

The sides of the painting and the other walls are also decorated with frescoes.
