Greccio. Church of Santa Maria del Giglio

Baroque style, the church of Santa Maria del Giglio in Greccio is very similar to St Michael Archangel.

A single nave covered with a barrel vault, has a central altar and two lateral altars of the Roman school adorned with stucco.

The main altar is decorated all around in tempera depicting the Virgin and Child of the fourteenth century.

Inside are other paintings of the late eighteenth century.
