Il Volto Santo

Built between 1617 and 1638, this was restored after World War II. The interior has three naves, divided by cruciform pillars. It has been modernised but some 17th-century paintings have been preserved, and a Madonna of Snow in terracotta dating from the 18th Century. On the main altar is a silver, gold and stone reliquary that, according to legend, holds the image of the face of Christ, put on a transparent, colorless silk. They say that an angel, dressed as a pilgrim, gave it to Giacomo Antonio Leonelli da Manoppello. The sanctuary is found a few kilometers from Manoppello. From Pescara take the A25 and exit at Scafa-Alanno.
