Sora. Church of Madonna di Valfrancesca

The churchof Madonna di Valfrancesca, along the bank of the Liri river in Sora, was built in 1679 on the design by the architect Francesco di Como Campione.

The church had an almost oval plan with a tall bell tower and a baroque style.

Following the destruction by the 1915 earthquake, the church was rebuilt in 1932.

Inside you can admire the image of the Madonna saved in the earthquake and a wooden statue carved at the end of 1600s “Maònna Ranna " (Madonna Grande) that was carried in procession through the fields in the event of prolonged drought.
