Church of 1507 on Ceppaloni's square, Baroque with a nave and two aisles, a red marble altar and a Renaissance Annunciation panel.

On Ceppaloni's main square stands the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, built in 1507 together with the adjoining friary by enlarging a small 15th-century church. Over the centuries it was run by various religious orders: Franciscans, Servants of Mary and Reformed Friars Minor, until the end of the 19th century. We like to think how much of the village's history has passed within these walls, at the centre of community life.Between 1706 and 1720 it was renovated in Baroque style: today we admire a nave and two aisles separated by arches, 18th-century stucco work and ceiling frescoes from 1960. We recommend lingering over the high altar in red marble, consecrated in 1716, the two canvases by Alberto Sforza, the choir loft of 1762 and the wooden choir that holds a panel of the Annunciation from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries.
