A treasure chest of Renaissance works beyond the city walls
Founded in the Angevin age outside the walled city, near the door by the same name, the church was profoundly remodeled in the sixteenth century, when the side nave was decorated with frescoes and the door, dated 1504, was installed. Damaged by the earthquake of 1980, it was later restored. The building is preceded by a three-arch portico on stone columns. The interior has a main hall with a wooden roof, as well as a small side nave covered by cross vaults, which opens on the left side. The square presbytery is also covered by a cross vault. Among the works visible in the Annunziata there is a painting of the Annunciation from the 15th century, a sixteenth-century altarpiece, with the Annunciation on the central panel and saints in the lateral ones and fragments of the aforementioned sixteenth-century frescoes in the side nave.
