    Basilica di San Bernardino – a Renaissance pearl of L’Aquila

    The Basilica di San Bernardino is one of the most beautiful Renaissance monuments in Abruzzo and tells the story of faith, art, and resilience.

    The impressive facade, designed by Cola dell'Amatrice, is inspired by classical Greek and Roman architecture. The three layers show the different styles: Doric at the bottom, Ionic above it, and Corinthian at the top.

    On the facade and in the interior, the golden IHS monogram shines with sunbeams, a symbol that Bernardino of Siena used during his sermons to reconcile rival families.
