Church of the Santissima Annunziata in Morcone

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 610 m

In the centre of Morcone, the Annunziata church with its former friary, which passed from the Celestines to the Dominicans and then to the Liguorians.

In the heart of Morcone stands the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, flanked by a large friary. The complex began as a house of the Celestine congregation and was later enlarged by the Dominicans, who held it from the 18th century until the French decade, at the beginning of the 19th century.Later the Liguorian fathers settled here, running it until the 1970s; today the spaces of the former friary are used for health services. We like reading in this building the many seasons of the village's religious life. We recommend including it in a stroll through the old town, between the church and the climb to the castle.
