Licenza. Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the most important in Licenza and its construction is relatively recent. It was built in 1840 based on a design by the architect Valadier who was then very active in the arrangement of Rome and in particular of the Pincio.

The church has a smooth stone facade that ends with a tympanum and is enriched by only two openings: the entrance door and a semicircular lunette.

Next to the church there is a small bell tower also with extremely simple shapes.

The church has a single nave with barrel vaulted roof decorated with geometric designs. Next to the nave there are four side chapels inside niches with frescoed vaulted ceilings and the church ends with a frescoed apse supported by six columns. Above the main altar you can see a statue of the Immaculate Conception.
