San Bartolomeo Abbey
San Bartolomeo Abbey
San Bartolomeo Abbey - interior
- 1 San Bartolomeo Abbey, Contrada San Bartolomeo (about 2 km away from the town, along the road that climbs towards the Piano del Voltigno.). Benedictine abbey, born in 962 by the will of Berardo, count of Pens, on Mount Pietrarossa, on the eastern slopes of Gran Sasso. Important information about the foundation and the properties of the Benedictine abbey can be found in the chronicle written in Chronicorum until 1193 by the monk Alexander; in this work there is no mention of reconstructions, although the oldest parts of the building seem to date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, in addition to the restoration carried out in the 1970s by the Superintendency.
- The first abbot was Benedict, chosen by Count Berardo, and under his regency the arm of San Bartolomeo reached the monastery, an event so exceptional that it attracted the bishops of Teate, Valva, Pens, Marsica and Apruzio.
- Few traces remain of the abbey, while the church is completely restored. The facade, flanked on the left side by a square tower, dates back to the 12th century and is the oldest part of the structure; it has a portico opened by two arched archways arranged asymmetrically. In addition, on the roof there is a bell tower in correspondence with the triumphal arch of the central nave.
- The portal that leads into the church shows a large frame adorned with reliefs representing an inhabited branch, with the insertion of animal figures across the branches.
- In the rear the rectangular apse is decorated with a single lancet window and a wheel rose window. On the right of the church there are some ruins of the disappeared monastery, previously covered by an embankment.
- The interior has a structure with three naves, divided by three round arches supported by rectangular pillars and covered by a trussed roof. The longitudinal hall is separated from the presbytery by three pointed arches.
- The presbytery area, dating back to the 13th century, consists of a transept divided into three rectangular bays and covered by cross vaults, a rectangular choir and a tripartite crypt with quadrangular pillars. The altar is supported by four small columns with capitals decorated with animal figures. The presbytery and the arms of the transept are illuminated by single lancet windows decorated with twisted columns.
- Parish Church of San Carlo Borromeo. Previously it had other titles. In the barbaric period it was dedicated to Sant'Agata, a saint particularly venerated by the Goths, who was joined by San Rocco, probably following a plague, as this saint was the protector against this disease.
- Church of Santa Maria Vergine.
- Church of San Rocco.
