What see

Propezzano
  • Abbey of Santa Maria di Propezzano (to Morro d'Oro). Place of an ancient Marian apparition in 715, a Benedictine convent developed there which was a pilgrimage center for several centuries. The original Romanesque structure underwent alterations and extensions in the fourteenth century; the convent shows rooms and frescoes up to the sixteenth century.
San Clemente
  • Church of San Clemente al Vomano (to Vomano Guard). Its original nucleus dates back to the 9th century; its current appearance is that of the remakes of the millennium. With the adjoining Benedictine convent it constituted one of the numerous Benedictine settlements in the Valley. The church has valuable fourteenth-century frescoes and a ciborium of exquisite workmanship which is an important testimony of sculptural art in Abruzzo.
