Roccasecca. Church collegiate of the SS. Annunziata

The original church of the SS. Annunziata in Roccasecca dates back to the mid-fifteenth century.

In 1750 was demolished to build the current one in Baroque style.

The façade is characterized by soft sinuous lines that draw a sort of curvilinear pyramid in the sky. 

On this curve are the two statues of St. Thomas and St. Peter Martyr, patron saint of the village.

The interior is in Baroque style and has three naves and is shaped like a Latin cross.

The central nave ends with an altar behind which there is a wooden choir dating back to the nineteenth century, that has particular style and elegance.

Above the choir is a painting by the Neapolitan painter Francesco de Mura while the dome and the roof of this area are frescoed.

In the side wings are important paintings of the eighteenth century Neapolitan school and a copy of the painting 'The Last Supper' by Paolo Veronesi.

Among the valuable works of the chapels of the side aisles there is a canvas dating back to the sixteenth century of a Madonna with Child in the presence of San Biagio and Sant Antonio Abate.

Above the choir is an ancient organ.

In 1843 the church received the title of "Collegiate insigne"
