Borbona. Church of Santa Anna

The church of Santa Anna in Borbona was built at the end of 1400.

It was furnished later in 1600 with wooden altars and a large ornate ceiling.

The interior is enriched by a magnificent Baroque altar of 1700 era and a picture of Santa Restituta, the patron saint of the town.

Outside is a walled up relief from the end of the sixteenth century, definitely coming from a fortress fountain.

Recently, a fresco was rediscovered from the early period of the church, depicting San Rocco which alludes to very frequent illness in those years.
