The Cathedral of Santa Maria is located in Anagni and was dedicated to Santa Maria Annunziata. It was built at the request of Bishop Pietro da Salerno from 1072 until 1104. The building is in Roman style with Gothic elements of the thirteenth century, its interior consists of three naves; we can admire, moreover, the fresco of the Madonna with the child. The cathedral is the most important place of worship in the city.

The Sanctuary of Madonna di Canneto is located in the heart of the National Park of Abruzzo at 1030 meters above sea level. The place of worship was completely redone in the 1970s, and today it is a majestic, beautiful and welcoming temple, immersed in the surrounding nature.

Of ancient origins but rebuilt several times, the only remain of the medieval church is the bell tower. The last restructuring dates back to the postwar period, in the interior there are also contemporary art works.

In the baroque buildings of the church there is also an art gallery with works from '700 onwards.

The windows above the cornice feature scenes from the life and cult of Maria SS.But and flood with colored light the great nave of the church. The current façade has an agile porch formed by three arches.

The whole construction realizes a splendid Baroque neoclassical architecture.The slender façade is divided by two logs, divided by a strong cornice and powerful pilasters, which mark and lighten the imposing front, creating with niches, portals, windows, moldings a lively wall full of shadows and lights.

On the wall where the ancient entrance door was, the altar of St. Sebastian was erected and in front of it the altar dedicated to San Rocco.
