Church of the Suffrage

What to see in Santo Stefano di Sessanio, L'Aquila, Abruzzo


The small Suffrage Church also known as "del Carmine" faces the main square of the village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio with a plastered and squared facade above which is a stone cornice and a portal of Baroque culture with a broken tympanum.
In the last century, a monumental cartouche was affixed to the facade in memory of the soldiers of Santo Stefano di Sessanio who fell during the two world wars.
Inside is a small hall embellished with a side chapel covered with a lunetted barrel vault.
The high altar is dedicated to the Virgin of Mount Carmel also known as Mary of Suffrage has unfortunately in 2001 a theft, as some works of art were stolen, including two paintings depicting the Massacre of the Innocents and St. Isidore.
