Convent of S.Maria degli Angeli (S.Pasquale) in Vallaspra di Atessa (CH) In the name Vallaspra, Valle-aspra, one can sense the peculiarity of a wild and fruitless nature, but also the sedimentation of a troubled historical and religious with long periods of splendor and apostolate. The history of the Vallaspra convent is linked to the Franciscan spirit and the incessant work of evangelization of the observant Friars Minor. Way back in 1408, Tommaso da Firenze, lay friar and secretary of Father Nicola da Osimo, commissioner of the province of Sant'Angelo in Puglia, stopped his wanderings in the Frenta area, in front of an ancient Cona depicting the Madonna of Sorrows with the Dead Christ and on the sides Saint John and Saint Francis on the right, Mary Magdalene and Saint Anthony of Padua on the left, venerated in a barren and wild place, precisely Vallassero di Atessa. Conquered by the evocative sacredness of the place and the profound meaning of this Pietà, Frà Tommaso began the construction of the first nucleus of the convent, which was completed and inaugurated just ten years later, in 1430. The convent of Vallaspra dedicated by Frà Tommaso to Santa Maria degli Angeli , not only in the dedication, but above all in the architectural structures, preserves the cleanliness of the Franciscan forms. The church, with a central nave and a side one, was enriched, in the early 1700s, with a chapel dedicated to San Pasquale Baylon (Spanish), a lay Franciscan, canonized in 1860, in honor of the Contestabile Colonna; the latter changed the title of the convent and San Pasquale simply, rather than Vallaspra, indicates the locality and the monastic complex. Over the centuries the structure was a woolen mill (the Franciscan habit was produced there); operating for more than a century and closed in 1675, it was linked to the intense period of traffic along the herd arteries. Over the years, the Convent of S.Pasquale became an important center of theological studies. Today, the Convent transmits a strong sense of belonging, of religious, spiritual and cultural identity; characteristics, the latter, which make it a solid, safe reference center, as well as a pole of aggregation, prayer and apostolate.

This church, the "Chiesa di San Pietro" was dedicated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”; their common feast day in the saints’ calendar is June 29th.

In the interior of room 1 of the museum, a small, interesting Diocesan Museum has been set up in the crypt, which collects various art objects from the church's treasure, among which is a fifteenth-century wooden statue known as the Madonna of the Help, but above all the fragments of a silver processional cross by the famous fifteenth-century goldsmith sculptor Nicola da Guardiagrele, signed and dated 1431. The cross was stolen years ago, dismembered and placed on the clandestine antiques market to be sold in pieces, and only some are been recovered. On the EAST side and more precisely the opposite part of the facade, crossing the portico you arrive at a beautiful viewpoint adjacent to Piazza Mercato.

The church of Santa Maria Maggiore was probably built in the 12th century, but has stylistic elements from different eras. This is due to the fact that the church has repeatedly been badly affected by fires over the course of time. The main tower and the cloister have Romanesque and early Gothic elements, while the interior of the main choir has been renovated in the Baroque style. The most impressive object from this period is the wooden pulpit in the main nave. Also in the cloister on the north side of the church you can find a baroque stucco ceiling and a fresco of the "Madonna del Latte" under one of the arches. A special artistic feature is under the portico on the south wall of the church (Largo Cristoforo), where there is a fresco from 1473. The church itself also houses the cathedral museum, which, among other things, exhibits a cross from 1431, which was created by Nicola da Guardiagrele.
