Church of the Most Holy Rosary (Chiesa del Santissimo Rosario), Avellino

Highlight • Religious Site

It was built in 1942, in honor of the Church of the Annuntita previously located in Piazza Libertà and dating back to the 16th century, designed by the architect Domenicantonio Mazzei, and dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario. The church is in neo-Gothic style, with three naves with a single central portal at the top of a low, slightly splayed staircase. On the lunette there is a mosaic with a gold background depicting the Virgin of the Rosary. Inside, various circular windows are placed along the side aisles and depict the various mysteries of the Rosary. On both sides of the entrance are two stained glass windows: one depicting a Pietà and the other depicting the baptism of Christ in the Jordan. The central rose window is a stained glass window with the Annunciation. In the deep apse there are four roundels with stained glass windows of the four evangelists.
It overlooks Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, and is governed by the Dominican fathers, who reside in the adjacent convent. Inside, various valuable works and stained glass windows, restored.
