Chiesa di Palmieri Don Bernardino

Chiesa di Palmieri Don Bernardino is a stunning Baroque church situated in the heart of Capurso, Italy. Built between 1695 and 1736, it is a testament to the prosperous years of post-Renaissance Capurso. The church was named after Pope Benedict XIII, who served from 1724 until his death in 1730.

The church features a large dome, three chapels, and a cupola-style bell-tower. Its façade is made up of a harmonious combination of classical and Baroque elements, such as pilasters, friezes and numerous statues. The interior decorations are just as exquisite: decorated with beautiful stucco work, columns, and wall paintings depicting biblical scenes. The most remarkable detail is the sparkling Baroque altar, made out of polychrome marble. Among all the details of its structure and decorations, the church houses a great number of beautiful artworks and paintings. Visitors can admire works of renowned artists such as Battistello Caracciolo, Andrea Vaccaro and Rutilio Manetti, among others. This is a must-see for anyone visiting the south of Italy. Not far from the capital city of Rome, it will certainly be a memorable experience for travelers and photographers alike.
