G	Gianfranco D'Angelosante on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La chiesa sorge sul luogo ove si trovava il tempio di Apollo ad Alba Fucens. Dapprima una chiesa paleocristiana sostituì il tempio, ma le prime forme che rispecchiano le attuali vanno ricercate all'inizio del XII secolo. I resti del tempio furono utilizzati come fondazioni per la chiesa, ma l'assetto principale fu prolungato, così fu divisa in 3 navate. Le quattro colonne originali sono state recuperate dai carabinieri. Il terremoto di Avezzano, che colpì la Marsica nel 1915, distrusse la chiesa che, tuttavia, fu ricostruita negli anni Cinquanta attraverso un'anastilosi quasi completa guidata da Raffaello Delogu che mirò a recuperare l'architettura romanica salvando solo poche delle integrazioni e aggiunte operate tra il XV e il XVI secolo: l'intervento concepito e portato avanti da Delogu costituisce un caso esemplare di restauro, per accortezza e sapienza, che Cesare Brandi definì all'epoca come "di gran lunga il migliore che sia stato mai condotto in Italia". (da wikipedia) The church stands on the site where the temple of Apollo was located in Alba Fucens. At first an early Christian church replaced the temple, but the first forms that reflect the current ones are to be found in the early 12th century. The remains of the temple were used as foundations for the church, but the main layout was extended, so it was divided into 3 naves. The four original columns were recovered by the carabinieri. The Avezzano earthquake, which struck the Marsica in 1915, destroyed the church which, however, was rebuilt in the 1950s through an almost complete anastylosis led by Raffaello Delogu who aimed to recover the Romanesque architecture saving only a few of the integrations and additions made between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: the intervention conceived and carried out by Delogu constitutes an exemplary case of restoration, for shrewdness and wisdom, which Cesare Brandi defined at the time as "by far the best that has ever been conducted in Italy ".

C	Claudio Manganelli on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bellissima chiesa romanica sulla cima di una collina. Molto romantica. Mi dispiace non averla trovata aperta.

C	Carlini Motta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chiesa medievale sulla collina di Alba Fucens, purtroppo era chiisa e sono riuscito a vedere solo al esterno, architettura imponente e conservata.

J	Julia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Церковь Сан Пьетро ин Альба Фучинс На высоте 1000 м с великолепным панорамным обзором построена эта необыкновенная романская базилика 11 века. Построена прямо на субструкциях античного храма Аполлона 3 века до н э. Коринфские колонны разделают пространство базилики на три нефа, редкий случай для Абруццо, в основном здесь однонефные храмы . Иконостас, отреставрированный братьями Космати, отделяет пресвитерий как в православных храмах. Есть также подземная крипта, но вход в неё закрыт. Церковь была основана ещё в 6 веке, стала центром бенедиктинского аббатства, затем отошла к францисканцам. От монастыря сохранились руины, так как зона здесь сейсмически опасная, периодически бывают землятресения. Последнее катастрофическое 11 бальное случилось в 1915 году, практически сравняв с землей монастырь. Церковь восстановили, фрески 12-15 вв и деревянные двери 11 века сейчас экспонируются в замке Челано (кастелло Пикколомини - Торлония). Church of San Pietro in Alba Fucins This extraordinary 11th century Romanesque basilica was built at an altitude of 1000 m with a magnificent panoramic view. Built directly on the substructures of the ancient temple of Apollo from the 3rd century BC. Corinthian columns divide the space of the basilica into three naves, a rare case for Abruzzo, mostly single-nave churches. The iconostasis, restored by the Kosmati brothers, separates the presbytery as in Orthodox churches. There is also an underground crypt, but the entrance is closed. The church was founded in the 6th century, became the center of the Benedictine abbey, and then passed to the Franciscans. Ruins have survived from the monastery, since the area here is seismically dangerous, periodically there are earthquakes. The last catastrophic 11 point happened in 1915, practically razing the monastery to the ground. The church was restored, frescoes from the 12th-15th centuries and wooden doors from the 11th century are now on display in the Celano castle (Castello Piccolomini - Torlonia).
A	Andrea Margiotti on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chiesa splendida Le tre navate sono intervallate dalle colonne corinzie del preesistente tempio di Apollo, del quale la chiesa ricalca fedelmente la pianta. La volta sorretta da capriate in legno é stata ricostruita dopo il terremoto del 1915, mentre il pulpito e le transenne che delimitano il presbiterio, entrambi in marmo bianco con intarsi in pietre colorate nel tipico stile cosmatesco, sono miracolosamente sopravvissute. Pubblico foto con il numero della signora Anna Maria alla quale prenotare le visite Splendid church The three naves are interspersed with Corinthian columns of the pre-existing temple of Apollo, of which the church faithfully follows the plan. The vault supported by wooden trusses was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1915, while the pulpit and the barriers that delimit the presbytery, both in white marble with inlays in colored stones in the typical Cosmatesque style, have miraculously survived.
