The Church

The 'Sanctae Mariae de Spelonche' church is the oldest in the city of Sperlonga but it is now closed due to the finding of ancient and precious frescos under restoration. The church was a very important religious place among the south of Lazio during the twelfth century. Originally built with two naves the church now is enlarged by the Chapel of "Presepe" (crib) dedicated to the saint Leone Magno which was proclaimed the patron saint of the town. There is also the Chapel of San Domenico enriched by the frescos on the ceiling and an altar from the '700.
