Priverno. Church of St. Thomas Aquinas

Priverno. Church of St. Thomas Aquinas

The church of St. Thomas Aquinas in Priverno dates from the thirteenth century and was part of an old Dominican convent.

The facade is of very simple local stone enriched only by a small decoration above the entrance door and a small bell-tower.

The interior has a single nave with four side chapels dating from the seventeenth century and has a Baroque style.

The more central altar is characterized by a large high-relief of the early nineteenth century depicting the "Glory of St. Thomas."

Inside you can still see a fragment of a fresco of the "Madonna del Latte" of the fourteenth century.
