Parish church of Castel Morrone dedicated to the Annunciation, the result of building phases ranging from the 16th to the 20th century.

In the heart of Castel Morrone, along the street named after Pilade Bronzetti, we find the parish Church of the Ave Gratia Plena, whose name echoes the angel's greeting to Mary and thus recalls the mystery of the Annunciation. It is a building that has been part of the community's daily life for centuries and still hosts the village's main celebrations today.The entries in the national cultural heritage catalogue place its history between the 16th and 20th centuries, with works carried out by local craftsmen who gradually renewed its appearance. We recommend combining the visit with a stroll around the centre and a climb towards Monte Castello, to read the religious and civic history of this hill village together.
