15th-century church in Guardia Sanframondi rebuilt after 1688, with a gilded coffered ceiling, now a venue for conferences and exhibitions.

In the old town of Guardia Sanframondi stands the Church of the Annunciata, known as Ave Gratia Plena, commissioned by the townspeople in 1430 and flanked by a hospital. Destroyed by the 1688 earthquake, it was rebuilt in new forms and consecrated only in 1780. The stone bell tower retains medieval elements, such as the two lions at its base.Inside we admire Baroque stucco decoration and a fine gilded wooden coffered ceiling; on the left opens the «Cappellone» with three altars. The high altar holds a reproduction of the Annunciation by Paolo De Matteis, whose original is in the Basilica dell'Assunta. After restoration, the church reopened as a venue for conferences and exhibitions: we recommend taking advantage of the exhibitions to visit it.
