About
Quick facts: The church is famous for its stunning Renaissance-style facade and beautiful cloister that once served as a refuge for pilgrims. Local legends say the miraculous fresco inside was painted by an angel, attracting devotees for centuries.
Highlights: Step inside to see the fresco depicting the Annunciation with such delicate detail that it feels almost alive, illuminated by soft natural light filtering through stained glass. The cloister's peaceful arches and vibrant floral gardens offer a serene escape that contrasts beautifully with the lively town outside.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes to walk around the cloister’s stone paths.
- Bring a camera with good low-light capability for the fresco area.
- Visit during weekdays to avoid larger crowds, especially in summer.
- Don’t miss the small historical plaques explaining the fresco’s symbolism near the altar.
