Fiuggi. Church of St. Stephen

Fiuggi. Church of St. Stephen

The church of St. Stephen in Fiuggi seems to have been built around the 11th century on a Roman temple dedicated to god Apollo.

Its original Italian Gothic style was then changed into baroque style.

For centuries every morning Holy Mass was celebrated at dawn for the shepherds and farmers of Fiuggi and for this reason the church was known as the "Church of the Shepherds".
