Chiesa di Santa Maria del Soccorso

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:15:28

This dazzling white church located on the western edge of town was originally part of a 14th-century Augustinian monastery; its side chapel and dome were added in 1791 and 1854 respectively, the latter rebuilt after the 1883 earthquake. The 18th-century mismatched majolica tiles adorning the semicircular staircase out the front are truly beautiful; from here, the views are heavenly.
