The 14th-century Annunziata church in Colle Sannita hides an interior rich in altars and decoration behind a sober façade.

Among the religious buildings of Colle Sannita, the Church of the Annunziata stands out, its origins dating back to the 14th century. From the outside it has a simple, austere façade, almost as if to hide what lies within.Once over the threshold, we are surprised by the contrast with a richly decorated interior, with imposing altars and elegant ciboria, as well as a cycle of paintings dedicated to the Annunciation. We recommend entering at a slow pace and letting the details guide you: it is one of those places that reward those who stop to look.
