Veroli. Church of the Holy Cross

It is difficult to define the date of the church of the Holy Cross that has been completely rebuilt several times.

Probably the first church dates back to the 12th century.

It was later destroyed by the earthquake of 1350 and then the 16th century fire.

Some medieval fragments were then inserted into the current facade.

In 1841 the church underwent a radical restoration that perhaps saved only the Romanesque structure with three naves plus the shape of the façade.

The interior appears in neoclassical style and the walls are all decorated with stuccos.

The last restoration dates back to the 1950s on the occasion of the Jubilee year.
