Roccasecca. Church of Santa Margherita

Roccasecca. Church of Santa Margherita

The church of Santa Margherita in Roccasecca has a clear Baroque style.

It has an arched façade that seems to show a theatrical setting.

Initially the church had only one nave, but Roccasecca housed a bishop's residence and the church was demolished and rebuilt with three naves.

Only the bell tower recalls the previous construction.

Inside there are some paintings of the seventeenth century while the frescoes of the dome are recent by Antonio Norari di Sora and date back to 1991.

In the access stairway there is a bronze bas-relief by the sculptor Egidio Ambrosetti of Anagni
