The Churches

Church of Santa Maria Assunta
The spiritual heart of Frosolone, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta has dominated the village since 1309. Over the centuries, it has withstood several earthquakes, which altered its structure but not its soul. Today, it boasts a splendid Baroque façade and a Latin cross interior with three naves and a majestic central dome. Among the works of art housed within are the 18th-century paintings by Giacinto Diana and the "Girolamo" bell, made from gold donated by the women of the village. It is a symbol of faith, art, and identity for the entire community.

Church of St. Peter the Apostle
This church was built from the ashes of the ancient convent of Santa Chiara, destroyed by the 1805 earthquake. Rebuilt on a new site and completed in its current form in the 1940s, San Pietro Apostolo houses important sacred works: among them, a beautiful 18th-century wooden statue of the Immaculate Conception, a sculpture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Giovanni Duprè, and a painting of the Holy Family by his niece Amalia Duprè. A secluded place, rich in art.

Church of St. Michael the Archangel
Considered the oldest church in Frosolone, San Michele Arcangelo stands on the site of a former pagan temple. The current structure dates back to reconstruction after the 1805 earthquake, but it still retains an austere and evocative atmosphere. Access is via a stone staircase, which leads to the sober and solemn façade. Inside, a single nave with Baroque decorations and two side chapels welcomes visitors into an atmosphere of contemplation.

Church of San Rocco
This small church, simple yet steeped in history, was linked to the Confraternity of San Rocco and used as a burial place during the viceroyalty era. The structure has a single nave, with a curved façade and an elegant stone portal with a pointed arch. Inside, you can admire frescoes and stucco decorations from the 19th century. It is a secluded corner where history and spirituality discreetly intertwine.

Church of St. Nicholas of Bari
Located in the oldest part of the village, the Church of San Nicola di Bari retains the understated charm of its Renaissance origins. Its single-nave structure and precious painting of the titular saint, dated 1660, testify to the presence and influence of Benedictine monasticism in the area. It is a small but much-loved church, which simply expresses popular faith.

Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie
Nestled in the lower part of town, this church dates back to the 15th century and was expanded in 1533. Inside, it houses a triangular wooden altar decorated with nine 17th-century Mannerist paintings from the Neapolitan school: a true treasure of sacred art. The church can be visited upon request and is meticulously cared for by the local community. A little gem to be discovered slowly.

Hermitage of Sant'Egidio
The Hermitage of Sant'Egidio, nestled in nature at the foot of Colle dell'Orso, is a small spiritual gem just minutes from the center of Frosolone. Rebuilt in 1704 and restored several times, the hermitage retains a simple and intimate atmosphere, ideal for moments of prayer and meditation. Inside is the statue of the Crowned Virgin, associated with tales of apparitions and popular devotion. The peaceful, well-kept outdoor garden completes the experience, offering a space for peace and contemplation.
