Religious
Abruzzo’s isolated and silent hilltop churches, cathedrals and monasteries share a common heritage of Benedictine Monks developing both their internal & external decorative arts throughout the Romanesque Period.
Churches in Abruzzo are where you will find God & Nature richly entwined. Take time out whilst driving & walking to stop at the beautifully simple mountain and pasture shrines of the shepherds & villagers, it is well worth it.
Always colourful, they are a forgotten treasure oft missed by tourists but quite enchanting, and venerated throughout Italy.
