Borgorose. Church of Santa Maria

Outside the medieval village of Corvaro di Borgorose, are the remains of the Church of Santa Maria del Colle Loriano of the eleventh century.

You can admire the bell tower and the cloister, partially destroyed by the 1915 earthquake.

There are several roman epigraphs on limestone dating from the era of Emperor Augustus.

The church was built next to the 'castrum' but outside the walls of the castle.

It is located on a rocky hill lower than the castle, as if to emphasize the superiority of the temporal power over the ecclesiastical.
