“Simplicity and history”
Apr. 2017
We revisited Offida to see this church as one of us had seen a documentary on television. This imposing church on the edge of the town survived the many mines placed during WW2, making many faithful believe it was a miracle. The vast interior is beautifully simple with its plain stone walls. The entrance is at the crypt then you go upstairs to the nave with more frescoes and a statue. It is only a 5 minute walk from the town hall and well worth seeing. The young man on the ticket desk was very informative and was kind enough to leave the church open for extra time.

Restored wonder
Jun. 2017 • Friends
Our friends who had lived in this town fifteen years ago were amazing and delighted by the magnificent restoration of the beautiful old church.
Essential to visit the grotto down stairs and the animated village where puppets act out daily life includes, all pinning, fishing and cooking. Small children would be amazed.

Stunning little church - a must see!
Dec. 2016
The church is beautiful inside and out. There's a cost to enter but it's completely worth it as it's quirky inside. Look for the bones!

Wonderful historical place
Sep. 2015 • Friends
All churches in Italy are amazing, but this one is like cherry on the top of a dessert. The first floor is in roman style, but the second which was bulilt lots of years later is gothic. If you have a chance to visit this church- don't miss it!

Absolutely stunning
Aug. 2015 • Couples
The views walking up to the church, the countryside around it are stunning. The church itself (lower and upper levels) is simple, almost bare, but possesses an almost overpowering (and moving) beauty.
I chose to get married here...

Unique Church
Jun. 2014 • Friends
This is a very unique church with two very different levels. Be sure to check out the grafitti from the 1600's (actually records kept by the monks). The views over the valley are spectacular from the grounds.
