Hiking

The interior has a stone architecture, revived polychromy of the furnishings, with the sculpted, painted and gilded woods of the statues (including the thirteenth-century Madonna del Colle), of the pulpit, of several altars, of the choir (work of the Roman-Sulmona Bartolomeo Balcone dating back to 1619) and the five coffered ceilings, mainly made by Carlo Sabatini of Anversa degli Abruzzi between 1670 and 1682, completed in 1742.

Hiking

The first temple, dating back to the 11th century and dependent on the abbey of Montecassino, stood outside the city center of the village of Pescocostanzo, perched on the Peschio. In 1456 the church was destroyed by an earthquake but was rebuilt as early as 1466, in the new and larger inhabited center, becoming the parish seat and thus linking the entire village to the diocese of Cassino.

Entering the Basilica one is fascinated by so much beauty and attention to the architectural details present there. The pulpit made entirely of wood immediately captures the visitor's attention.
